简要总结

The ASSERT-III study aims to determine the incidence of sub-clinical (silent) atrial fibrillation (AF) among elderly patients with hypertension and at least one other risk factor for AF. This will be accomplished by monitoring with a wireless external loop monitor for 30 to 60 days.

入选标准

  • Patients will be eligible for inclusion if they meet all of the following:
  • Age ≥ 80 years
  • History of hypertension OR a blood pressure of ≥ 140/90 mmHg
  • Attending a primary care clinic, OR ambulatory resident of a chronic care facility
  • At least one of the following additional risk factors for developing AF:
  • Body mass index ≥ 30
  • History of smoking
  • Documented Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Heart Failure
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy (on ECG or echocardiography)
  • Provide written informed consent

排除标准

  • ECG documented history of AF or atrial flutter, with an episode duration ≥ 6 minutes
  • Existing implanted pacemaker or defibrillator
  • Patients considered by the investigator to be unsuitable for study follow-up because the patient:
  • is unreliable concerning the requirements for follow-up during the study and/or compliance with the use of the external loop recorder
  • has a life expectancy less that the expected study duration due to concomitant disease
  • has a condition which in the opinion of the investigator, would not allow current chronic treatment with anticoagultion -

结局指标

主要结局

Occurance of atrial fibrillation episode

时间窗: within 30 - 60 days of follow-up

Detection rate of sub-clinical atrial fibrillation episodes, at least 6 minutes in duration

次要结局

  • Proportion of patients eligible to receive anticoagulation(30 - 60 days of follow-up)
  • AF Burden(30 - 60 days of follow-up)
  • Tolerability and feasibility of long term monitoring in elderly patients(30 - 60 days of follow-up)
