Brain pressure linked to irregular heartbeat in heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT07521293
First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated May 30, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study examined 309 people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF to understand why some develop atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat. Researchers found that higher pressure in the veins and a wider optic nerve sheath (a sign of increased brain pressure) were linked to AF. The goal was to learn more about how fluid congestion might affect the brain and heart, not to test a new treatment.
