Atrial Fibrillation

Clinical Trials

Below is a list of Atrial Fibrillation clinical trials from the clinical trials database at Mayo Clinic.

Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.

Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence in Sleep Apnea
sleep apnea is a common disorder which is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Observational data suggest that sleep apnea may play a role in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), and may even predispose to recurrence of AF following electrical cardioversion (DCCV).

Catheter Ablation Versus Anti-arrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation Trial
The need for this trial arises out of 1) the rapidly increasing number of pts > 60 years of age with AF accompanied by symptoms and morbidity, 2) the failure of anti-arrhythmic drug therapy to maintain sinus rhythm and reduce mortality, 3) the rapidly increasing application of radio-frequency catheter ablation without appropriate evidence-based validation, and 4) the expanding impact of AF on health care

Evaluate Use of Mangosteen Juice Added to Usual Care in Reducing Risk of Recurrent Atrial Fibrillation
Mangosteen Effects on Inflammatory Markers in Atrial Fibrillation Trial is a study designed to test the primary hypothesis that a dietary supplement (Mangosteen) containing anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties may effect the measured levels of inflammatory biomarkers.
