Heart rhythm hope: weight loss drug trial targets common irregular heartbeat

NCT ID NCT06499857

Summary

This study is testing if a medication called semaglutide, which is approved for weight loss, can help people with both obesity and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers want to see if losing weight with this drug can reduce how often AFib occurs and its severity when used alongside standard AFib treatments like medication or procedures. They are enrolling 200 adults who are overweight and have AFib to compare the drug against a placebo.
