TriggersAF

Details and patient eligibility

About

A prospective cohort study to evaluate the association between various triggers encountered in daily life and induction of atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia and premature atrial contractions) with the use of long-term monitoring devices. The collected data of personalized triggers and risk factors will be used to define the individual phenotype of atrial arrhythmia.

Enrollment: 182 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with previously diagnosed paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who are in sinus rhythm at inclusion time.
• An informed consent is signed by the patient.

Exclusion criteria

• The qualifying episode of AF has never been documented in ECG or Holter ECG monitoring.
• Patients with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia at inclusion time.
• Patients with permanent atrial fibrillation or permanent atrial flutter.
• Age <18 years.
• Patients with a pacemaker or an implanted cardiovert-defibrillator.
• Patients suffering from dementia or other severe neurological disorders and thus incapable to participate.
• Patients who present with antisocial behavior and/or do not want to participate in the study.

Trial design

182 participants in 1 patient group

Patients with previously diagnosed paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation

Description:

Patients with previously diagnosed paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who are in sinus rhythm at inclusion time. During trial period subjects will be monitored for different atrial arrhythmias and divided into the following subgroups: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, premature atrial contractions (bigeminy, trigeminy, couplets), multiple atrial arrhythmias and no arrhythmia detected.

Treatment:

Device: Devices for long-term monitoring of objective and subjective parameters of the body
