Trial summary

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with excessive risk of ischemic stroke and heart failure as well as reduced life expectancy. On the other hand, chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in an aging population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Is Atrial Fibrillation is Associated With Non-significant Coronary Angiography Findings?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with excessive risk of ischemic stroke and heart failure as well as reduced life expectancy. On the other hand, chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in an aging population. Both disease entities share common risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity The purpose of the study is to investigate the hypothesis indicating lack of significant coronary lesions in AF vs. sinus rhythm (SR) patients.

Read the detailed description

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) share common risk factors and both disease entities frequently co-exist. Additionally, AF symptoms may mimic CCS. Objectives: To investigate the hypothesis indicating lack of significant coronary lesions in AF vs. sinus rhythm (SR) patients.

The prevalence of CCS in patients with AF varies from 17% to 47% whereas AF in patients with CCS is much less common, ranging from 0.2% to 5.Patients with AF more often have concomitant CCS as compared with sinus rhythm controls. Additionally, AF is more frequently present in patients with either peripheral- or cerebrovascular artery disease than in non-atherosclerotic individuals We conducted a multi-center retrospective study including consecutive patients referred for elective coronary angiography.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients underwent coronary angiographyWe reviewed medical notes of patients hospitalized for coronary angiography because of exacerbated angina (recurrent chest pain, classical stable angina, long history of chest pain/angina or other symptoms such as dyspnea). We excluded patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), Tako-tsubo cardiomiopathy and history of ischemic heart disease, as well as those referred for coronary angiography before heart valve surgery. Prior cardiosurgical valve replacement was also the exclusion criterion.
Receives: Procedure: Coronary angiography

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibrillation, Atrial and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Medical University of Bialystok at 5 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Poland, Russia, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coronary artery disease (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 8 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04537507, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2022.
