What this trial is about
This is a multicentre, prospective, randomised controlled study of 328 patients with non-paroxysmal AF (within 5 years of first diagnosis of AF) with recurrent atrial arrhythmias after first catheter ablation, randomly divided in a 1:1 ratio into a study group treated with triple AADs (amiodarone + bisoprolol + digoxin) and a control group treated with conventional AADs (amiodarone + bisoprolol + digoxin). The study group was treated with triple AADs (amiodarone + bisoprolol) and the control group was treated with conventional AADs (amiodarone + bisoprolol) with the aim of comparing the efficacy and safety of the two groups in terms of reversion of SR, which may provide an effective option of pocket drug reversion for patients with recurrence of SR after AF catheter ablation.
