Insertable Cardiac Monitor for Primary Atrial Fibrillation Detection in High-Risk Heart Failure Patients (NCT04818645)
Insertable Cardiac Monitor for Primary Atrial Fibrillation Detection in High-Risk Heart Failure Patients (ASSERT-AF)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients with heart failure (HF) represent a large population of patients who are at high risk for complications related to undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). However, currently there are limited modalities for early AF detection and subsequent stroke prevention in this high-risk population. An implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) is inserted subcutaneously and can provide long term arrhythmia information via remote monitoring. The ASSERT-AF study seeks to accurately define the burden of AF and other arrhythmias in high-risk HF patients using an ASSERT ICM.
