We have initiated this week the CONFIRM-AF study. Randomized multisite clinical trial (30 sites) coordinated by our center at the University of Rochester for early detection of atrial fibrillation using an insertable cardiac monitor in patients with heart failure.

Our Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Rochester received approval this week for 5! new NIH grants (in the fields of novel treatment of atrial fibrillation, management of LVAD patients, and device therapy for heart failure)

Nice - very important topic and study.

The NIH Awarded RO1 of Hima Vidula, MD, MS, FACC will evaluate a very important topic: identification of a blood pressure threshold for the prevention of stroke in LVAD patients in the setting of a prospective multicenter clinical study headed by Dr. Vidula UR Medicine Advanced Heart Failure UR Medicine University of Rochester

Congratulations also to Dr. David Huang who received his first RO1 to study intraoperative VT ablation in LVAD patients. Dr. Huang and our experienced advanced heart failure/cardiac surgery teams will lead this important multicenter clinical trial in the US UR Medicine UR Medicine Advanced Heart Failure
