propafenone and Chronic Disease

propafenone has been researched along with Chronic Disease in 27 studies

Propafenone: An antiarrhythmia agent that is particularly effective in ventricular arrhythmias. It also has weak beta-blocking activity.
propafenone : An aromatic ketone that is 3-(propylamino)propane-1,2-diol in which the hydrogen of the primary hydroxy group is replaced by a 2-(3-phenylpropanoyl)phenyl group. It is a class 1C antiarrhythmic drug with local anesthetic effects, and is used as the hydrochloride salt in the management of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.

Chronic Disease: Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

Trial Outcomes

Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) for the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation

The outcome measure is the AUC of the curve obtained from the ROC analysis. The curve is a combination of specificity and sensitivity of detecting atrial fibrillation. The range of the curve is 0.5-1.0 where 0.5 would be random detection of atrial fibrillation and 1.0 would be perfect performance. (NCT04267133)
