Atrial Fibrillation: Understanding

Atrial Fibrillation: Overview

Atrial fibrillation (also called Afib or AF) is an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that begins in the upper (atria) of your heart. In atrial fibrillation, the normal cycle of electrical impulses in the heart is interrupted. This leads to a fast, chaotic heart rhythm and poor movement of blood from your atria to lower chambers (ventricles). There are three main types of atrial fibrillation.

• Paroxysmal Afib lasts less than one week and usually stops on its own without treatment.
• Persistent Afib lasts more than one week and needs treatment.
• Long-standing persistent Afib lasts more than a year and is sometimes difficult to treat.

Some people with Afib have no symptoms. It depends on how fast ventricles are beating. If they’re beating at a normal or slightly elevated pace, probably it won’t feel anything. But if ventricles beat faster than symptoms are noticed. These can include extreme fatigue, an irregular heartbeat, heart palpitations, a feeling of butterflies or a fish flopping in your chest, dizziness or lightheadedness, fainting (syncope), shortness of breath (dyspnea), chest pain (angina).

The diagnosis of Afib includes physical examination and lab tests. Physical examination includes listening to your heart rhythm with a stethoscope, checking your pulse and blood pressure, checking the size of your thyroid gland to identify thyroid problems, looking for swelling in your feet or legs to identify heart failure, listening to your lungs to detect heart failure or infection and the tests include the following:

• Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG): An EKG is usually the first test. It’s painless and takes about three minutes. It measures and records your heart’s electrical signals and allows your provider to see if your heart is beating normally.
• Echocardiogram (echo): An echo uses ultrasound technology to show heart movement. It can reveal problems with blood flow and heart muscle contractions.
• Blood tests: Sometimes, imbalances in our blood can cause Afib. Simple blood tests can show potassium and thyroid hormone levels and can help provider choose the best medicines based on your liver and kidney function.

Based on symptoms and severity the doctor may suggest medications or surgical procedures as treatment of Afib. Medications to treat Afib may include:

 Rate control medications to prevent the ventricles from beating too fast. Examples include digoxin, metoprolol, verapamil or diltiazem.

 Rhythm control medications to help your heart beat in a normal sinus rhythm. Examples include procainamide, disopyramide, flecainide acetate, propafenone, sotalol, dofetilide or amiodarone.

 Blood thinners (anticoagulant medications) to reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke. Examples include warfarin, warfarin alternatives or aspirin.

If medications don’t help your Afib, procedure or surgery is needed:

 Electrical cardioversion electrically “resets” heart rhythm using low-energy shocks, but it may only be a temporary solution.

 Pulmonary vein ablation uses catheters to deliver energy outside and around pulmonary veins. This procedure helps respond better to your Afib medications.

 A permanent pacemaker may be inserted in case of slow heart rate. Usually, it’s only used if the patient have another arrhythmia in addition to Afib.

 Left atrial appendage closure is a procedure that reduces your risk of blood clots and stroke.

 The MAZE procedure creates scar tissue that helps heart’s electrical impulses travel in the right path. This procedure has a high success rate. If the patient have severe Afib symptoms and a history of stroke or blood clots, provider may recommend this option.

Atrial Fibrillation Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Atrial Fibrillation report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Atrial Fibrillation Emerging Drugs

• Abelacimab: Anthos Therapeutics, Inc.

Abelacimab is under development for the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis, venous thromboembolism (VTE), pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, inflammation and stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. Abelacimab is under Phase III clinical development by Anthos Therapeutics for Atrial fibrillation.

• Etripamil: Milestone Pharmaceuticals

Etripamil is designed to be a rapid-response therapy for episodic cardiovascular conditions. The novel calcium channel blocker is self-administered via a nasal spray, which may shift the current treatment paradigm for many patients with PSVT from the emergency department to the at-home setting. The drug is in Phase III clinical studies for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and in Phase II clinical studies to treat atrial fibrillation.

• GENCARO: ARCA biopharma

Gencaro (bucindolol hydrochloride) is a pharmacologically unique beta-blocker and mild vasodilator that we believe has potential for the treatment and prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation, or AF, in patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, or HFmrEF. Beta-blockers, a well characterized class of drugs, target cardiac myocytes to reduce adverse beta1- adrenergic signaling that causes cardiac chamber remodeling. Gencaro’s mechanism of action (MOA) is unique among beta-blockers due to its sympatholytic (norepinephrine lowering) and inverse agonism (inactivation of constitutively active receptors) properties. The drug is in Phase II/III clinical studies for the treatment and prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation, or AF, in patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, or HFmrEF.
