Colchicine for people with certain irregular heartbeats
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether colchicine can help people with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat, after a successful cardioversion. It may help reduce future AF problems, depending on the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether colchicine given after cardioversion (a procedure that restores normal rhythm) helps keep the heart in normal rhythm afterward. It may help some people have fewer early returns of atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can reduce the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) after open-heart surgery. If it works, it could help you recover more smoothly.
This trial is testing whether colchicine, a medication used for gout, can help people with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. If you have heart failure with preserved pumping and certain signs of inflammation, this study might be a good fit.
This trial tests whether colchicine, a drug that reduces inflammation, can help prevent further heart problems or strokes in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. You may be eligible if you have kidney disease and have had a heart attack, stroke, or related event in the past.
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can help people with heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) that also causes abnormal heart rhythms, a weak heart pump, or high stress markers. Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory medicine that might reduce heart damage and improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a low dose of the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people who have recently had a heart attack or unstable angina. It aims to see if colchicine reduces the risk of future heart problems.
