Heart Rhythm Society 2017 Late-Breaking Electrophysiology Trials

May 16, 2017 — Here is a list of the late-breaking clinical trials presented at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2017 annual meeting May 10-13, in Chicago. The data presented is for the latest in electrophysiology (EP) clinical research, techniques and technologies. These trials were featured at Heart Rhythm 2017 and will be published in the July issue of the Heart Rhythm Journal. 

Late-breaking Studies Presented at HRS 2017:

• The S-ICD Post-market Approval Study

• Intra-nasal Etripamil For Conversion Of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). Node-1 Trial

• A Leadless Pacemaker In The Real-world Setting: The Micra Transcatheter Pacing System Post-approval Registry

• EWOLUTION trial: 1-Year Efficacy and Safety of Left Atrial Appendage Closure with WATCHMAN in Patients with or without Contraindication to Oral Anticoagulation

• High Incidence Of Previously Unknown (“Silent”) Atrial Fibrillation In Patients At High Risk For Atrial Fibrillation And Stroke: Primary Results From The REVEAL AF Study
