Summary

This study tests whether the weight-loss medication tirzepatide can improve control of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people with obesity. About 100 adults with a BMI of 27 or higher and symptomatic AFib will receive either tirzepatide or a placebo. The main goal is to see if weight loss from the drug reduces the total time spent in AFib over 12 months.
