Massive study to uncover hidden risks in heart patients with metabolic issues
NCT ID NCT07309913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow about 3,500 adults in China who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) along with metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Researchers want to learn how these combined conditions affect risks for stroke, heart failure, and death. The goal is to fill gaps in current knowledge and help create better treatment guidelines for this specific group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better management guidelines for people with both atrial fibrillation and metabolic disorders like obesity or diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or intervention, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria * Meet the diagnostic criteria for atrial fibrillation: Single-lead electrocardiogram (≥30 seconds) or 12-lead electrocardiogram (≥10 seconds) shows disappearance of P waves, replaced by fibrillation waves (f waves) with irregular amplitude, morphology and duration, and absolutely irregular RR intervals. * Aged ≥ 18 years. * Willing to sign the informed consent form and cooperate with long-term follow-up. Exclusion Criteria * Suffering from infective endocarditis or myocarditis. * Having clear etiological factors of atrial fibrillation caused by hyperthyroidism, and the etiology has not been effectively controlled. * Suffering from severe mental illness and being unable to comply with the study requirements. * Pregnant women. * Patients with malignant tumors or substance abuse (e.g., cocaine, heroin).
