Test for abnormal heart rhythm triggers for some heart rhythm types
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have frequent abnormal signals from the upper heart (supraventricular extra beats or short runs) and how that relates to atrial fibrillation risk. If you qualify, you may help researchers understand better ways to prevent or manage certain heart rhythm problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your Holter monitor must show at least 30 extra upper-heart beats each hour, or a run of at least 20 beats
- You must be between 70 and 89 years old
- You should not already have atrial fibrillation or flutter
- You should not be on lifelong blood-thinner pills (oral anticoagulants)
- You should not have an implanted heart device (such as a pacemaker or defibrillator)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at early changes in the heart related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using health data and biomarkers. It aims to find better ways to predict or understand AF, especially around procedures like ablation or cardioversion.
This trial tests whether starting treatment early to control your heart's rhythm can help people with a heart device who have short bursts of a fast heartbeat (called atrial high rate episodes) but haven't yet been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation on a standard EKG or Holter monitor.
This study creates a database to better predict who with a pacemaker or ICD will develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help your care team spot risk earlier and tailor monitoring sooner.
This study looks at how heart rhythm problems affect heart function. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
This trial uses a monitoring device to check for a common but often overlooked irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to detect and treat it early to prevent complications like stroke.
This study compares different computer “analysis methods” that look at real-time heart recordings from people with atrial fibrillation. It may help improve how atrial fibrillation is evaluated during/after an ablation procedure.
