Detailed Description
Study synopsis for the Tambocor Prospective study
Inclusion: Patients with atrial fibrillation that admitted to the ward for prior to start of flecainide initiation.
Ethics: Informed Concent prior to inclusion.
Follow up after baseline: 4 visits during 12 month.
End points : Side effects that lead to discontinuation of flecainide. Persistent AF that lead to discontinuation of flecainide.
Evaluated parameters: 12 lead ECG, ECHO: LA, LV, HV strain , Dynamic Heart model: LV and RV.
The follow up visits:
Baseline: Normal ECHO after the first dose of flecainide, ECG and Questionnaire
4 Weeks: Normal ECHO + Protocol ECHO (LA, LV, HV strain , Dynamic Heart model: LV and RV) and Questionnaire.
6 month: Normal ECHO + Protocol ECHO (LA, LV, HV strain , Dynamic Heart model: LV and RV) and Questionnaire.
12 month: Normal ECHO + Protocol ECHO (LA, LV, HV strain , Dynamic Heart model: LV and RV) and Questionnaire.
