Wearable Devices to Monitor Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of noninvasive cardiac rhythm monitoring during a 16-week period (e. g., an early-stage clinical trial time horizon) in patients with atrial fibrillation. 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed.
  • Male or female, age ≥ 18 years.
  • AF with prior history of at least 2 episodes of AF, with at least 1 of the 2 AF episodes documented by 12-lead ECG, Holter, or any other method to record an ECG tracing within 6 months prior to the screening visit.
  •  Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR).
  • Judged by the responsible physician to be on guideline directed stroke prevention.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Permanent AF at enrollment.
  • Vaughan Williams class I or class III antiarrhythmic therapy within 7 days prior to enrollment, or amiodarone within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Ongoing reversible cause of AF (e.g., hyperthyroidism, myocarditis, alcohol use, sepsisor infection-related AF, surgery-related AF, pulmonary embolism).
  •  Implanted pacemakers, implanted cardioverter defibrillators, or implanted cardiac monitors (implantable loop recorders).
  • Ablation for AF within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Cardiac surgery within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Heart failure with New York Heart Association class III/IV symptoms within 3 months prior to enrollment.
  • Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or coronary surgery within 3 months; or coronary angioplasty within 1 month prior to enrollment.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as a documented systolic blood pressure ≥180 or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg on 2 separate dates within 3 months prior to enrollment.
  • Stroke within 6 months prior to enrollment, or other neurologic or psychiatric condition which is likely to affect study compliance.
  • A pattern or history of excessive alcohol use over the last 2 years prior to enrollment as evidenced by: > 21 units per week for males and > 14 units for females (1 unit = 12 oz 1 bottle/can of beer, 1 oz 40% spirit, or 5 oz glass of wine).
  • Knowledge of prior allergic reactions to adhesives or hydrogels
