Effect of Ischemic Preconditioning on Atrial Fibrillation After Electrocardioversion

NCT05342220 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 240

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Remote ischemic preconditioning is one way to influence the success of therapy in cardiovascular patients. By means of remote ischemic preconditioning the incidence of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery was reduced by 54%. The investigators aim to investigate the effect of ischemic preconditioning in an easy-to-perform protocol with regard to the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Remote ischemic preconditioning

Remote ischemic preconditioning through inflation of a blood pressure cuff to pressure values \> 200mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion (3 times each) before electrocardioversion Electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (100, 150, 200 Joule)

PROCEDURE

Sham preconditioning

Inflation of a blood pressure cuff to pressure values \~ 10mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion (3 times each) before electrocardioversion
