RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
BEAT AF - Braking Ectopic Atrial Trends In Atrial Fibrillation
A Multi Center Randomized, Double Blinded, Sham Controlled, Clinical Study Aimed to Determine the Efficacy of CardiaCare™ RR2 Home-care Neuromodulation System in Reducing Atrial Fibrillation Burden and Symptoms in Paroxysmal AF Patients
About This Trial
Paroxysmal AF subjects with a documented ECG event of AF will be recruited to the study To assess the efficacy of CardiaCare™ RR2 wearable home-care neuromodulation system in reducing AF burden and symptoms in Paroxysmal AF patients
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- Men and women ages 18-85 years with history of documented paroxysmal (\<7 days) atrial fibrillation
- AF Burden (% time in AF) of more than 0.5% and less than 25% as evident by a continuous 14 days ECG recording at baseline (at minimum 168 hours)
- Ability and willingness to sign an willing to sign a consent form form
- Ability and willingness to use CardiaCare home care device and ECG chest patch and has an available smart phone
- Known symptomatic AF event over the recent 3 months
- Willing not to change the antiarrhythmic treatment
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure \<100mmHg or heart rate\>170 bpm at Baseline) during recruitment visit
- Known history or current diagnosis of atrial flutter
- An active myocardial infarction evident from ECG
- Recent stroke or myocardial infarction (\<6 months)
- History of sick sinus syndrome 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, bifascicular block or prolonged (PR\>300ms) 1st degree AV block
- Unilateral or bilateral vagotomy
- History of persistent AF with documented AF episodes of \>7 days
- Significant valvular disorder (i.e., prosthetic valve or hemodynamically relevant valvular diseases or valvular AF)
- History of Impaired systolic function with EF\<40 % or NY Class III or IV heart failure classification
- Dilatated left atria with a diameter \> 50mm as evident by an echocardiogram
- Currently enrolled in another study
- Recurrent vaso-vagal syncopal episodes
- Pregnancy or breast feeding
- Pacemaker or CRTD or any implanted electrical stimulating device
- History of epilepsy or seizures
- Peripheral neuropathy or dermatological condition affecting the tested upper extremity area
- Unsuitable for participating in the study according to attending physician
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
