Official title
Impact of Post-ablation Alcohol Intake on Arrhythmia Recurrence, Quality of Life and Cognition in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Earlier studies have shown a dose-dependent relationship between alcohol intake and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as a causal link with several risk factors for AF such as hypertension, obesity and sleep apnea. However, the effect of drinking (alcohol) on post-ablation outcome such as arrhythmia recurrence, quality of life (QoL) and cognitive function in AF patients is unclear. Therefore, we aim to find the answer for a very frequently asked question, "is it safe to continue drinking alcohol (at the pre-ablation level) following catheter ablation OR should the intake be reduced for better outcome?", in this randomized trial.
