Use of Dapagliflozin to Reduce Burden of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation of Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation

This is a multicenter trial to evaluate the impact of treatment with dapagliflozin versus placebo following catheter ablation of AF on the burden of AF during 6-12 months of follow-up. This prospective, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial aims to enroll 25 subjects with AF (paroxysmal or persistent) who are scheduled to undergo catheter ablation of patients. All enrolled subjects will be required to have a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) capable of assessing the burden of AF. Following catheter ablation for AF and functional CIED subjects will be randomized to treatment with dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily versus placebo. The primary endpoint for the trial will be AF burden assessed at 6-12 months following catheter ablation of AF. The Investigational Drug Services at the University of Rochester will be in charge of dispensing all study related drugs to subject.
