Efficacy of Early Rhythm Control in AF With TR Patients (TRAF)

27 de maio de 2026 atualizado por: Ju Youn Kim, Samsung Medical Center
Atrial fibrillation is frequently accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation and may contribute to right atrial and tricuspid annular remodeling, leading to progression of tricuspid regurgitation and adverse clinical outcomes. However, whether early rhythm control improves prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation remains unclear. This study will compare early rhythm control with usual care in these patients, using a composite outcome of cardiac death, heart failure admission, stroke, and tricuspid valve surgery.

Visão geral do estudo

Descrição detalhada

Atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation frequently coexist in clinical practice. Atrial fibrillation may promote right atrial enlargement and tricuspid annular dilatation, which can aggravate functional tricuspid regurgitation over time. Conversely, significant tricuspid regurgitation may further increase right-sided volume overload, worsen atrial remodeling, and contribute to the persistence or progression of atrial fibrillation. This bidirectional relationship may lead to heart failure, thromboembolic events, and an increased need for tricuspid valve intervention.

Although early rhythm control has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in selected patients with atrial fibrillation, its clinical benefit in patients with concomitant tricuspid regurgitation has not been well established. In particular, it remains uncertain whether maintaining sinus rhythm at an early stage can slow the progression of right-sided cardiac remodeling, reduce heart failure events, and improve long-term prognosis in this population.

This study is designed to evaluate the prognostic impact of early rhythm control compared with usual care in patients with atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation. The primary endpoint will be a composite of cardiac death, heart failure admission, stroke, and tricuspid valve surgery. By comparing these clinically meaningful outcomes between the two treatment strategies, this study aims to clarify whether early rhythm control should be considered as an active therapeutic approach in patients with atrial fibrillation complicated by tricuspid regurgitation.

The study will use retrospectively collected data from patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2023. Clinical outcomes will be assessed during this observation period.

População do estudo

The investigator emulated a sequential target trial comparing early rhythm control with usual care among patients with atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation, using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (K-NHIS) claims database.

The K-NHIS database represents the entire population of Korea. The K-NHIS database covers the total population of Korea. The NHIS database includes information on all individuals in Korea, such as demographics, diagnosis codes based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), procedures, prescriptions (coded by ATC codes), utilization of healthcare services, and mortality linked to national statistics. The investigator further linked these data with the National Health Screening Program, which provides biennial standardized health examination results, including laboratory measurements such as serum creatinine and hemoglobin, using anonymized individual identifiers.

Descrição

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with concomitant atrial fibrillation and tricuspid regurgitation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a history of valvular surgery
  • Patients with congenital heart disease
  • Patients with primary pulmonary hypertension
  • Patients with CIED implantation prior to the diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation
  • Patients diagnosed with TR only after the initiation of rhythm control therapy for AF

Detalhes do projeto

Coortes e Intervenções

Grupo / Coorte
Intervenção / Tratamento
early rhythm control group
Patients who received rhythm control therapy(include catheter ablation, cardioversion, anti-arrhythmic drugs) within 2 years of new-onset atrial fibrillation
flecainide, propafenone, pilsicainide, sotalol, amiodarone, dronedarone
Direct-current cardioversion may be performed to acutely restore sinus rhythm, particularly in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or symptomatic rhythm deterioration. Catheter ablation may be considered as a more definitive rhythm-control strategy to reduce atrial fibrillation burden and maintain sinus rhythm over the long term.
Usual care group
Patients who received usual care include rate control therapy without early rhythm control intervention within 2 years of new-onset atrial fibrillation
General management without atrial fibrillation rhythm control treatment.(Observation without additional medication, or heart rate control treatment if necessary)
