Insertable Cardiac Monitor-Guided Early Intervention to Reduce Atrial Fibrillation Burden Following Catheter Ablation

Korábbi kezelés

• Inability to tolerate any AAD therapy
• Permanent atrial fibrillation lasting more than 3 years prior to date of consent

Más betegség

• Inability or unwilling to undergo CA (e.g., presence of intra-cardiac thrombus, contraindication to anticoagulation or other contraindication to CA)
• NYHA class IV congestive heart failure
• Life expectancy <1 year after consent date for any medical condition

Egyéb

• Pregnancy or nursing
• Unwillingness to comply with all post-procedural follow-up requirements and to sign informed consent
• Participation in other interventional research studies (observational registries are allowed).

• History of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (per 2019 HRS guidelines definition: an episode of AF that terminates spontaneously or with intervention in less than seven days), according to current guideline indications for paroxysmal AF CA (Class I/II); or patients with history of persistent atrial fibrillation (per 2019 HRS guidelines definition: sustained AF episode lasting more than 7 days, but less than 3 years), according to current guideline indications for persistent AF CA (Class I/IIIa) any time in the past.
• 18 years of age or older at time of consent
• CA to be performed for AF as standard of care within 2 calendar months after consent and prior to randomization date
• One of the following:
  • Abbott ICM device indicated for monitoring symptoms after CA as standard of care and inserted within 2 calendar months after consent and prior to randomization date
  • Patients with an existing CIED (ICD/CRTD/PPM/ICM) are allowed if there is an atrial lead to track AF.
  • Patient without an existing CIED preferring to use a noninvasive LT-ECG monitor.
