Magnesium and Metoprolol for Fast Atrial Fibrillation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding magnesium to metoprolol (a heart rate medication) helps slow down a dangerously fast heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation or flutter. If you have this condition and your heart is beating very fast, this study may help you and future patients manage it more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and speak English
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with a heart rate of 120 beats per minute or higher
- You are currently being treated with metoprolol for heart rate control
- You are conscious and able to understand and sign consent forms
- Your blood pressure is stable (not dangerously low)
- You do not have a serious heart attack, acute heart failure, or myasthenia gravis

This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of magnesium (4 grams) compared to a lower dose (2 grams) or a placebo can help control a fast heart rate during atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who are already receiving diltiazem.
This trial tests two different medicines to slow a rapid heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation or flutter. You will receive either an oral pill (bisoprolol) or intravenous (IV) medication (diltiazem) to see which works better and faster.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium can lower the chance of developing new irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you are at risk but do not already have this rhythm issue, magnesium may help prevent it.
This trial compares two common heart medicines (verapamil and metoprolol) to see which works better for people with a fast, irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you come to the Emergency Department with a heart rate of 110 or more and are stable, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a medication called etripamil to see if it can quickly slow down a rapid heart rate during episodes of atrial fibrillation. It may help people who have frequent, long-lasting episodes with a fast heartbeat.
This trial tests a new magnetic-guided catheter to treat rapid heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia. It may help people who haven't found relief from medications or prefer a procedure without prior drug therapy.
