This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether starting treatment early for atrial fibrillation (AF) that is only detected by heart devices can help control the condition. About 520 adults with these hidden AF episodes will be randomly assigned to either early rhythm control therapy (medication, shock, or a procedure) or standard care without rhythm control. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces AF burden by half or prevents it from becoming a clinical problem.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Among patients with Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED), subjects with atrial high rate episodes found Cardiac implantable electronic devices: implantable loop recorder, pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD), cardiac resynchronized therapy(CRT) * Patients aged 19 or older who have agreed to the study (if voluntary consent is deemed difficult, consent from legal representatives is obtained together) * If the accumulated period of the atrial high rate episode during the three-month observation period is more than 21 hours * Patients whose atrial fibrillation has not been confirmed by electrocardiogram or holter monitoring within the past year from the time atrial high rate episode was detected However, enrollment is possible even if it includes one of the following two cases ⓐ Patients diagnosed and recorded as atrial fibrillation on medical records but not confirmed by electrocardiogram or holter monitoring ⓑ If there is a record of atrial fibrillation, but Paroxysmal AF less than 30 seconds Exclusion Criteria: * Patients deemed inappropriate to participate in the study by the investigator * Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation with 12-lead electrocardiogram or holter within the past year prior to participation in the study * Patients taking Class Ic, III of antiarrhythmic drugs prior to study participation * Patients who have had rhythm control treatments such as Radiofequency catheter ablation (RFCA), Total thoracoscopic ablation (TTA), Maze procedure (MAZEop), and antiarrhythmic treatment due to atrial fibrillation (except for CTI ablation with AFL) * Patients whose life expectancy is less than one year (e.g., patients who can't even have a heart transplant, patients who receive DNR, Patients in hospice wards who refuse life-sustaining treatment, terminal cancer patients who cannot receive radiation or chemotherapy, etc.)
