Probiotics to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether probiotics (beneficial bacteria supplements) can help prevent atrial fibrillation—an irregular heartbeat—from coming back after a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm. Researchers want to see if probiotics reduce how often the irregular heartbeat returns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older with a BMI (body weight relative to height) under 40
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (ongoing irregular heartbeat) and just had cardioversion (a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm)
- You have not taken probiotics in the past 6 weeks
- You do not have autoimmune diseases (conditions where the immune system attacks the body)
- You are not currently taking immunosuppressive medications (drugs that suppress immune function)
- You do not have an active infection and are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if acupuncture can help prevent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) from coming back after a procedure called catheter ablation. If you have had ablation and your heart rhythm is back to normal, this study may help you stay in a healthy rhythm.
This study tests whether a program of exercise and healthy eating changes can reduce how often atrial fibrillation (AFib) happens and help you lose weight. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have AFib, and are ready to make lifestyle changes.
This study tests a new approach for people with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who are also at high risk for stroke. It combines a procedure to fix the heart's electrical signals with closing off a small pouch in the heart to reduce stroke risk, potentially avoiding long-term blood thinners.
This study tests a new blood thinner to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem). You may qualify if you have atrial fibrillation and at least one risk factor for stroke, or if you've never taken a blood thinner before.
This trial tests whether reusing special catheters to treat atrial fibrillation is safe, effective, and better for costs and the environment. It may help people with atrial fibrillation who need a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation.
This study looks at stroke risk and blood clotting in people who have just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that is not caused by a heart valve problem, and who have not yet taken blood thinners. It aims to better understand how blood clots form in this condition.
