Trial summary

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans. The loss of rate-dependent action potential duration(APD) adaptation is one of the characteristics of atrial fibrillation, but detailed understanding of mechanism is limited. Read more about this study

About this study

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans. The loss of rate-dependent action potential duration(APD) adaptation is one of the characteristics of atrial fibrillation, but detailed understanding of mechanism is limited. Thus, we propose to utilize the monophasic action potential recording data from human patients in three groups, control, paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, and apply reverse engineering method to quantify the extent of electrical remodeling of ionic channel parameters using a mathematical model of atrial cell. Our approach will be useful in developing drug targets for ion channels in atrial fibrillation patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Monophasic action potential(MAP) catheterDevice

    After ordinary procedure for electrophysiologic study or catheter ablation, the investigators will replace conventional catheter to monophasic action potential (MAP) recording catheter through right femoral sheath. MAP recording catheter is introduced to endocardial surface of atrium, and we record atrial MAP at variable pacing cycle lengths: steady state cycle lengths of 600, 400, 300, 240, 220, 240, 260, 300, 400 and 600 ms. At each cycle length, pacing was applied for 20 sec. It takes less than 5 min to acquire MAP recordings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recurrence of AF

    The investigators will acquire monophasic action potential from patient's atrium. Then, we will estimate cardiac ion current status of the patients by reverse engineering and computer simulation. The patients will be followed up longer than 12 months based on 2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines. Primary outcomes of the study are AF recurrence and antiarrhythmic drug sensitivity. Those data will be counted and compared with the patient's own ion current status deducted by simulation study with monophasic action potentials.

    Measured: One year after the last enrollment

  2. Antiarrhythmic drug sensitivity

    The investigators will acquire monophasic action potential from patient's atrium. Then, we will estimate cardiac ion current status of the patients by reverse engineering and computer simulation. The patients will be followed up longer than 12 months based on 2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines. Primary outcomes of the study are AF recurrence and antiarrhythmic drug sensitivity. Those data will be counted and compared with the patient's own ion current status deducted by simulation study with monophasic action potentials.

    Measured: One year after the last enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Monophasic action potential(MAP) catheter in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recurrence of AF (time frame: One year after the last enrollment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2019.
