Herbal granules aim to stop AFib recurrence after heart procedure

NCT ID NCT07508618

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether Qidong Yixin Granules, an herbal medicine, can reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation returning within a year after a standard heart ablation procedure. About 846 adults with persistent atrial fibrillation will be randomly assigned to receive either the granules or a placebo for 12 months. Researchers will track heart rhythm with ECGs and Holter monitors at regular follow-ups.

Active substance

Qidong Yixin Granules (herbal granules)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new herbal option to help prevent atrial fibrillation from coming back after a standard ablation procedure.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 4 trial, but the intervention is an herbal product with limited prior evidence. The placebo group helps control for bias, but results may not apply to all patients or settings.
