About this trial
Paroxysmal AF subjects with a documented ECG event of AF will be recruited to the study To assess the efficacy of CardiaCare™ RR2 wearable home-care neuromodulation system in reducing AF burden and symptoms in Paroxysmal AF patients

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in AF burden
Defined as % of time in AF, during screening period compared to end of treatment period.
Secondary outcomes
AF burden defined as the total number of AF events during screening period compared to end of treatment period.
AF burden defined as the total number of symptomatic AF events during screening period compared to end of treatment period
Change from baseline compared to end of treatment period in Life quality & symptoms as assessed by AF AFEQT(from 0-poor to 100-great), EHRA Score (from I-no symptoms to IV-disabling symptoms) and SF36 questionnaires (form 0-worst to 100-best)
Number of AF episodes lasting 6 hours or longer in the treatment arm compared to the sham control
