Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male or female (since spironolactone is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, a highly sensitive pregnancy test (serum HCG) will be systematically carried out in women of childbearing age and information will be given to non-pregnant women at the time of inclusion to instruct them to use an effective method of contraception during all the study period. Effective methods include: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral, intravaginal, transdermal, or progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation : oral, injectable, implantable, or intrauterine device, or intrauterine hormone-releasing system, or bilateral tubal occlusion or vasectomised partner, or sexual abstinence)
  • Age \> 18 years
  • Hypertension defined as current use of anti-hypertensive drugs for more than 12 months
  • Paroxysmal or no long-standing persistent AF (as defined by the ESC guidelines) with at least 1 episode within the preceding 6 months
  • Sinus rhythm at enrolment
  • Patient signed consent
  • Willing to comply with scheduled visits, as outlined in the protocol
  • French speaking
  • Recipients of the social security regime

Exclusion

  • Contraindications to spironolactone therapy: pregnancy, breastfeeding, intolerance, hyperkalemia (\>5.0 mmol/L), severe renal dysfunction (defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 ml/min/1,73m² (per the CKD-EPI equation). Subjects with serum creatinine ≥2.5 mg/dl are also excluded even if their eGFR is ≥30 ml/min/1,73m²), Severe liver dysfunction.
  • Patients already treated by other potassium sparing medication (amiloride, triamterene) or MRA (spironolactone, eplerenone, potassium canreonate, finerenone).
  • Other MRAs indication: aldosteronism, heart failure, cirrhosis ascites, nephrotic syndrome, myasthenia
  • LVEF \< 40% obtained within 6 months prior to V0
  • Planned atrial fibrillation ablation within 6 months after randomization
  • Moderate-to-severe valvular heart disease
  • Permanent AF or long-standing persistent AF as defined by the ESC guidelines
  • AF on the ECG at the inclusion visit
  • Previous left atrial ablation or previous maze or maze-like surgery
  • Acute, reversible or secondary AF (infection, hyperthyroidism, pericarditis or myocarditis)
  • Left atrium diameter \> 60 mm obtained within 6 months prior to V0
  • Contraindication to oral anticoagulation therapy
  • Patients with persistent bradycardia of less than 50 beats per minute, a PR interval of 0.2 second or more on ECG, second degree (or higher) atrioventricular block, and snus-node disease without an implanted pacemaker
  • Hemodynamic instability and unstable conditions: angina or acute coronary syndrome or heart failure during the last 3 months, cardiogenic shock
  • A life expectancy of 1 years or less
  • Patients included or planning to be included in another medical research protocol whose pharmacological and scientific rationales might interfere with the Sponsor trial
  • Patients unable to complete the protocol follow-up
  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • Adults with protective measures (curatorship or tutorship) and vulnerable patients
