Long-term risk of atrial fibrillation after first episode in intensive care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who had their first-ever atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit (ICU) and survived to go home or to rehab. It aims to see how often atrial fibrillation comes back over the long term, which could help doctors understand what to watch for.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours during a hospital stay.
- You were diagnosed with new-onset atrial fibrillation during that ICU stay (meaning you never had it before).
- You survived that hospital stay and were discharged home or to a rehabilitation center.

This trial looks at people who develop a new irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It tests an approach to help with that condition after critical illness, aiming to improve outcomes for those affected.
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
This study follows adults who have had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, to understand who is more likely to have it return. It may help doctors predict risk and plan follow-up after the procedure.
This study focuses on people who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and whose diagnosis was made within the last year. It aims to understand how atrial fibrillation progresses, which could help guide better monitoring and future care.
This study records and follows people under 35 who have their first episode of an irregular heartbeat. It aims to better understand this condition early on and how it shows up in real life.
This study compares doing vein isolation soon after diagnosis versus usual care in people 75+ with new or early atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if early treatment prevents the condition from getting worse and improves quality of life.
