Study summary

Patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are often combined with atrial fibrillation, but after the stabilization of thyroid hormone levels after treatment, the patients' atrial fibrillation still persists. Radiofrequency ablation of the atrial fibrillation as one of the treatment options for atrial fibrillation has been widely used in the clinic, and has significant efficacy in maintaining sinus rhythm, improving cardiac function, and improving the prognosis of patients. However, there is a lack of clinical monitoring data on radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients who have combined thyroid dysfunction and have stabilized their thyroid hormone levels after treatment.

Read the detailed description

In patients recommended by guidelines for atrial catheter radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation, catheter radiofrequency ablation was performed after exclusion of contraindications, and was observed and compared between patients with comorbid pre-existing thyroid hormone disorders and patients without comorbid atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation:1: time to sexual rhythm maintenance: incidence of cardiac-related complications and incidence of noncardiac-related complications within 3 months and 1 year,2: walking distance on a six-minute walk test within 3 months,1 year, comparison of percent left ventricular ejection fraction, and comparison of left ventricular diastolic diameter at the time 3 months,1 year,.To comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of catheterized radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with comorbidities of prior thyroid hormone disorders.

Groups and cohorts

  • Combined Thyroid Dysfunction

    Atrial catheter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation combined with patients requiring prior thyroid hormone abnormalities

    Procedure: Catheter Ablation

  • Uncomplicated thyroid dysfunction

    Atrial catheter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with uncomplicated need for prior thyroid hormone abnormalities

    Procedure: Catheter Ablation

Interventions

  • ProcedureCatheter Ablation

    catheter radiofrequency ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation involves the use of ablative energy to destroy the cardiomyocytes at the opening of the pulmonary veins, which blocks the electrical conduction pathway between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium, so that atrial fibrillation no longer occurs.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started May 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2026, 25 months after the start.

Of 550 non-industry observational studies under Atrial Fibrillation, half reached primary completion within 46 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 91. This study's planned 25 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 698 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 76.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 11, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
