What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of POAF
Incidence of POAF up to patient discharge as defined as atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) after OR exit that lasted longer than one hour, or lasted less than one hour but required medical or procedural intervention.
Measured: 5 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Time until discharge
Burden of atrial fibrillation as defined by additional treatment regimen, additional time in ICU, and/or complications directly associated with atrial fibrillation.
Measured: 5 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing CardiaMend with antiarrhythmic in people with POAF and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.
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 6 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Paige Nesbitt (208-367-8386, paige.nesbitt@saintalphonsus.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of POAF (time frame: 5 days). 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 8 Dec 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
