Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a 3 month treatment course of low-dose Colchicine decreases the recurrence of Atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrocardioversion (ECV) in patients with AF.


Clinical Trial Description

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, stroke and death. Over the next 40 years the investigators expect another increase in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation with a risk of 1:3 in people over 65 years to develop atrial fibrillation. Electroconversion can occur in patients with atrial fibrillation reestablish sinus rhythm acutely with a controlled electrical shock. Unfortunately it is known however, that there is a short-term recurrence of atrial fibrillation in about 60%. This underlines that our current treatment options are inadequate. There is increasing evidence that inflammation is integral to initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation. Therefore, the researchers see inflammation as a possible therapeutic target to reduce the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation after electroconversion. To test this hypothesis and to help patients, the investigators want to conduct the COLECTRO-AF study. ;
