ICMREDUCE-AF Trial Summary

This trial will investigate whether using a device to monitor heart activity can reduce the amount of time a patient with AF spends in AF after having a catheter ablation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a history of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who are undergoing their first catheter ablation. They must have a certain risk score for stroke (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 2 in men, ≥ 3 in women), and be able to receive an insertable cardiac monitor. People with severe heart failure, life expectancy less than a year, large left atrium, recent major heart surgery, mechanical valve prosthesis, or those unable to undergo the procedure are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using an insertable cardiac monitor can help manage atrial fibrillation more effectively after catheter ablation. Participants will be monitored to see if this approach reduces the frequency and severity of AF episodes compared to standard care without continuous monitoring.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the insertable cardiac monitor may include discomfort at the insertion site, infection risk, allergic reaction to device materials, and possible interference with other devices or medical procedures.

Group I: ICM-guided ManagementActive Control1 Intervention
Implantable device that provides accurate daily transmission of cardiac electrical data for arrhythmia detection.
Group II: Conventional ManagementPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Treating physicians/nurses will be blinded to the AF episodes data from the monitor, but will be provided information on asystole, or ventricular arrhythmia events (for safety).
