First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a special CT scan in the emergency department to rule out blood clots before restoring normal heart rhythm can help people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. About 190 adults will be randomly assigned to either the CT-scan approach or usual care. The goal is to see if the CT method reduces hospital admissions, repeat ER visits, and improves quality of life within 30 days.
