Step-by-step treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a step-by-step treatment plan for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who live in Southwest China. The goal is to find a better way to manage and possibly fix this heart condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) — meaning episodes last more than 7 days or need medication or a shock to fix.
- You live in Southwest China and can attend long-term follow-up visits.
- You have medical records showing past treatment for AFib.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease or a malignant tumor.
- Your doctor estimates you will live at least another year.

This study tests a stepwise treatment plan for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat) who also have an enlarged left atrium. It aims to see if a medication called amiodarone plus a cardioversion procedure can help restore normal rhythm.
This trial studies how an exercise training program affects people with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help improve how you feel and how well your heart and body handle activity.
This trial tests whether chloroquine can reduce symptoms in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat that lasts longer than a week. It will also closely monitor heart rhythm and safety, since the medicine can affect the heart and other organs.
This trial tests a new way of caring for older adults with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) in rural villages to help prevent heart failure. Trained village doctors will use telemedicine (remote healthcare) to manage your condition.
This study compares three approaches to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) that lasts more than 7 days. It tests whether isolating the pulmonary veins alone is enough, or if also targeting low-voltage areas (scarred heart tissue) during either normal rhythm or AF works better.
This trial tests a new method to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat) to see if it helps patients who haven't been helped by medication. It focuses on cleaning up the back wall of the heart to restore a normal rhythm.
