Short description of the study population

The study population consists of adults (age 18 years old and over) patients receiving Landiolol for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia, the rapid control of ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, other circumstances where the short-term control of the ventricular rate with a short acting agent is desirable, or non-compensatory sinus tachycardia.

Study design details

Study design

A retrospective-prospective, multicenter, multinational observational study designed for patients suitable for Landiolol treatment in a hospital setting to assess drug utilization patterns. The study will not interfere with the usual patient care.

Main study objective

Primary Study Objective:
- to characterize the drug utilization patterns in patients who were treated with Landiolol according to the SmPC

Secondary Study Objectives:
- to evaluate effectiveness of Landiolol treatment in a real-world setting
- to evaluate characteristics of patients treated with Landiolol intravenously in a real-world setting
- to evaluate the safety of patients treated with landiolol intravenously in a real-world setting to facilitate life-cycle risk-benefit profiling
- to assess length of intensive/ emergency care and hospital stay
- to survey the major cardiac outcome of patients treated with Landiolol up to 180 days

Setting

Having already been deemed suitable by their physicians for treatment with Landiolol, patients are treated intravenously in a peri-, postoperative, intensive care or emergency care setting, to assess drug utilization pattern, effectiveness, safety, patient characteristics and follow-up data on major adverse cardiac events up to 180 days.
The decision to initiate treatment with Landiolol will be the physician's responsibility and should be in accordance with the prescribing recommendation in the particular country. For each eligible patient, informed consent must be obtained (or a waiver is given, if the patient had died during Landiolol treatment, or were not capable of consenting) before entering data into the study electronic database. Patients could also be enrolled retrospectively, as long as treatment occurred after full regulatory approval and site activation.

Outcomes

The study protocol does not assign treatments, nor does it dictate what medical information should be entered into patient charts. Rather, each participating site provides and documents patient care and outcomes according to usual care, physician discretion and local practice standards. Thus, study variables may not be available for all patients at all time points, if data are not recorded in the chart as per routine medical care.
