Characterization of Arrhythmia Substrate to Ablate Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (COAST-AF RCT)
A multicentre, parallel group, two arm, single-blinded randomized clinical trial, assessing the efficacy of a patient-tailored catheter ablation (CA) strategy guided by atrial scar mapping in

N-Acetylcysteine Protection Against Radiation Induced Cellular Damage
Catheter ablation procedures (CAPs) are first line treatment for a great variety of cardiac arrhythmias. CAPs require X-Ray imaging; consequently, CAPs cause ionizing radiation (IR) exposure for

Early Dronedarone Versus Usual Care to Improve Outcomes in Persons With Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation (CHANGE-AFIB)
While there are several completed clinical trials that address treatment strategy in patients with symptomatic and recurrent AF, there are no randomized clinical trials that address treatment for first-detected AF. In usual care, these patients are started on an atrioventricular nodal blocking agent (beta-blocker or non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker) along …

Impact of Pacing Output and Cycle Length on QRS Morphology
Current recommendations for pacemapping are based on expert opinion and animals models. Present study sought to evaluate the influence of different parameters of pacemapping on QRS morphology. Pacemapping is performed with different cycle length (fixed burst vs. coupling interval) and stimulation output (maximum output vs. threshold) and resulting QRS complexes …

Comparison Between Upgraded '2C3L' vs. PVI Approach for Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Catheter ablation has emerged as an important treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVI) is now considered as the cornerstone

Randomized Trial: High Power Short Duration Versus Ablation Index
The single procedure success rates of durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) varies between 80 and 90 %. This prospective, randomized study investigated the efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation with RF-energy following the CLOSE protocol with standard energy application (30 Watts) versus PVI with RF-energy with …

Zero Fluoroscopy Voltage Guided vs. Linear CTI Ablation (ZERO MAGIC)
Catheter ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is the curative first-line therapy for typical atrial flutter. Currently, two approaches are used in clinical practice. In contrast to the

Post-Ablation Pericarditis Reduction Study
There has not been a prospective, randomized controlled trial of colchicine to reduce post-AF ablation pericarditis in an era of newer AF ablation techniques. The hypothesis is that an empiric pre and post AF ablation treatment protocol with colchicine may reduce the incidence and symptom severity of post-AF ablation related …

Left Atrial Posterior Wall Additional Isolation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Trial
The purpose for this study is to determine whether left posterior wall isolation (PWI) in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is effective as ablation strategy for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
