Coronary Computed Tomography AngioGraphy Prior to Catheter Ablation in Patients With Atrial FIBrillation


Sponsor

Tor Biering-Sørensen

Enrollment

852 participants

Start Date

Mar 26, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial is to investigate whether coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography prior to catheter ablation and derived treatment (medical anti-ischemic and multimodality treatment and/or mechanical revascularization) can improve clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation. A sub-study will investigate the effect of different ablation strategies on clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is assessing whether performing a CT coronary angiogram (a detailed scan of the heart's arteries) before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) helps identify patients with unexpected heart artery disease that might change their treatment plan. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You have been referred for catheter ablation (a heart rhythm procedure) for atrial fibrillation at Gentofte Hospital in Denmark - This may be your first ablation or a repeat procedure **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You already have known coronary artery (heart artery) disease - You are currently taking statin medication (which suggests known cardiovascular disease) - You have a contrast allergy or other contraindication to coronary CT scanning - You had a recent normal coronary CT scan within the past 3 years Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
