RECURrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Cardioversion of Patients Randomized to Dapagliflozin or Usual Care

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose transport-2 inhibitor, works to treat atrial fibrillation in adults. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does the drug dapagliflozin reduce the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation?

Researchers will compare drug dapagliflozin to standard therapy to see if drug dapagliflozin reduce the recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

Persons with atrial fibrillation who are planned for an electric cardioversion will:

* Take the drug dapagliflozin, or no drug, once a day for a maximum of 56 days * Undergo a planned electric cardioversion of the atrial fibrillation * Record the rhythm with a hand-held device that transmits the signal to researchers during the study period, but no longer than for 56 days

Treatment and study plan

Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily

Drug

Tablet Dapagliflozin 10 mg orally during from randomization for maximum 56 days.

Primary outcomes

  1. Atrial fibrillation recurrence

    Time frame: 30 days after elective electrical cardioversion

    Time to first AF recurrence detected with an ECG- monitoring device within 30 days after planned elective electrical cardioversion.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients in SR at 30 days

    Time frame: 30 days after elective electrical cardioversion

    Proportion of patients in SR 30 days after cardioversion.

  2. Proportion of patients without any atrial fibrillation recurrence at 30 days

    Time frame: 30 days after elective electrical cardioversion

    Proportion of patients without any atrial fibrillation recurrence at 30 days

  3. Time to spontaneous return to sinus rhythm before electrical cardioversion

    Time frame: Up to 26 days

    Time to spontaneous return to sinus rhythm measured from randomization to electrical cardioversion (max 26 days)

  4. Spontaneous return to sinus rhythm before cardioversion.

    Time frame: Up to 26 days

    Number of patients with return to sinus rhythm at time of electrical cardioversion (maximum 26 days from randomization)

  5. Success of cardioversion

    Time frame: Periprocedural

    Discharged with sinus rhythm after electric cardioversion

  6. Total number of days with atrial fibrillation

    Time frame: From day of electric cardioversion to 30 days after

    Total number of days with AF recordings during the 30 days following cardioversion.

  7. Absence of clinical atrial fibrillation recording

    Time frame: From randomization to 30 days after electric cardioversion

    Absence of clinical atrial fibrillation recurrence (12-lead ECG-verified) during follow-up after cardioversion or after spontaneous return to SR (before cardioversion).
