The Comparison With Clinical Impacts on Functional Capacity and Symptom Improvement According to the Rhythm Control in Patients With Heart Failure and Recent Onset Atrial Fibrillation

March 14, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University
Prospective randomized (rhythm control or rate control in heart failure patients with new onset atrial fibrillation) Objective of study 1. To analyze long term outcome of patients with heart failure with new onset atrial fibrillation according to the rhythm control 2. To analyze remodeling of atrium and ventricle by the new onset AF in heart failure patients 3. To analyze the change of LV function and functional capacity according to the rhythm in patients with HF and new onset AF

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sinus Rhythm Control group
  1. Start AAD right after evaluating for LA size, EF, LA thrombus, and presence of CAD during anticoagulation
  2. Cardioversion after 1 month
  3. Rhythm FU schedule (2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines)
  4. If AF recur, RFCA
Active Comparator: Pulse Rate Control Group
  1. No AAD, just anticoagulation
  2. HR control between 60~110bpm (with beta blocker, calcium channel blocker, digoxin)
  3. Without the treatment about antiarrhythmia and rhythm control, diffraction of rate control, the subject will be drop out for study.
