Could a common heart drug be safer for patients with two heart conditions?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Voluntary written informed consent of the participant or their legally authorized representative has been obtained prior to any screening procedures 2. At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form 3. Non-permanent atrial fibrillation or ectopic atrial tachycardia with rhythm control strategy, documented on any modality in the 1 year preceding the consent date 4. Stable coronary artery disease without argument, defined as: 1. Prior percutaneous coronary intervention; OR 2. Prior revascularised ACS or coronary artery bypass surgery \> 3 months at enrolment; OR 3. Invasive coronary angiography demonstrating coronary atherosclerosis, defined as ≥50% diameter stenosis in at least one major epicardial coronary artery; OR 4. Coronary CT scan showing coronary stenosis CAD-RADS stage ≥ 3 on, including CAD-RADS stages 4 and 5 in the absence of ischemia on exercise testing, myocardial perfusion imaging (MIBI), stress cardiac MRI, or fractional flow reserve. 5. LVEF ≥ 45% documented on any imaging modality\* Exclusion Criteria: 1. LVEF \< 45% 2. NYHA class III or IV congestive heart failure 3. Active treatment with amiodarone 4.
