Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With HFpEF (STABLE-SR IV Trial)

Lead Sponsor:

The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University

Conditions:

Atrial Fibrillation

HFpEF - Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

To investigate whether RFCA is superior to AADs in AF patients with HFpEF on the basis of optimized anti-heart-failure drug therapy regarding their longterm clinical outcomes.

Detailed Description

Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac rhythm disorder and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become the first-line therapy in the symptomatic AF patients. Heart failure is ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation
  • CHADS2-VASc score≥ 2
  • Conform to the diagnosis of HFpEF
  • NYHA II-IV level;
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥ 50%;
  • NT-proBNP≥ 300 pg/mL under sinus rhythm or NT-proBNP≥ 600 pg/mL under atrial fibrillation or flutter;
  • Evidence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction/raised left ventricular filling pressure on echocardiogram.
  • Sign informed consent

Exclusion

  • A life expectancy below 2 years due to any non-cardiovascular condition
  • Reversible atrial fibrillation, such as hyperthyroidism or hypokalemia-related atrial fibrillation
  • Prior atrial fibrillation ablation
  • Left atrial size≥ 55 mm
  • Heart failure due to any of the following: known genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, infiltrative cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, active myocarditis, cardiac tamponade, or uncorrected primary valvular disease
  • Previous cardiac transplantation, complex congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease
  • Any contraindication for radiofrequency catheter ablation, antiarrhythmic drugs or anticoagulation
  • Acute coronary syndrome, cardiac surgery, angioplasty or cerebrovascular accident within 12 weeks before enrollment
  • Severe hepatic and renal dysfunction
  • Body mass index\> 50 kg/m2
  • Female in period of pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Any conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, may render the patient unable to complete the study
  • Involved in other studies
  • The inclusion and exclusion criteria would be reassessed after run-in period and the cut-off of NT-proBNP would be set as \>125 pg/ml under sinus rhythm or \>365 pg/ml under AF/atrial flutter (AFL).
