Symptom narrative

New Onset Atrial Fibrillation; This 62-year-old male subject was enrolled in a blinded study. The subject received the 2nd dose of RSVPreF3 vs Placebo (intramuscular, unknown deltoid) on 12-SEP-2022, for prophylaxis. Concurrent medical conditions included hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, atrial flutter and type ii diabetes mellitus. Concomitant products included amlodipine, rosuvastatin calcium (Crestor) and carvedilol. On 18-AUG-2023, 340 days after receiving RSVPreF3 vs Placebo, the subject developed moderate - grade 2 atrial fibrillation (Verbatim: New Onset Atrial Fibrillation). Serious criteria included hospitalization. The subject was treated with apixaban (Eliquis). The action taken with RSVPreF3 vs Placebo was no change. The outcome of atrial fibrillation was not resolved. Diagnostic results (reference ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): Heart rate-In AUG-2023 240 (maximum) bpm. The investigator considered that there was no reasonable possibility that the atrial fibrillation may have been caused by RSVPreF3 vs Placebo. The company considered that there was no reasonable possibility that the atrial fibrillation may have been caused by RSVPreF3 vs Placebo. Linked case(s) involving the same subject: US2023115567 GSK receipt date: 21-AUG-2023 Visit 5NH 21AUG2023 - Per PI: subject reported being diagnosed, hospitalized, and treated via Ablation around a year ago despite office visit in SEP 2022 and a year of phone contacts. He was just now reporting this diagnosis because of another Ablation performed on 18AUG2023. Subject had very little details, records requested for these details into diagnosis and treatment. Would update upon record receipt Subject was a 62 year old male with a history of diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia who presented to the office for visit 5 on 21AUG2023. At that time, he informed the site that he had been treated for atrial fibrillation since spring of 2022. On review of requested medical records, he was diagnosed with atrial flutter by a cardiac electrophysiologist. No treatment started secondary to arrythmia spontaneously converted. Through July and August of 2023, subject was evaluated for recurrent symptoms with placement of intracardiac loop recorder. This demonstrated numerous atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter events with 30 events of greater than 6 hours, maximum heart rate 240 bpm. The decision was made to perform an ablation for atrial fibrillation on 18AUG2023. Subject was admitted overnight for monitoring. Discharge medications updated to include Eliquis 5 mg BID, Carvedilol 12.5 mg BID, Crestor 20 mg QD, and Amlodipine 5 mg BID.
