Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymANTIPAF
Study objectivesBlocking the angiotensin II type 1 receptor reduces the incidence of episodes of atrial fibrillation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during 12 months by more than 25% compared to standard medication without angiotensin II type 1 receptor.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedParoxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
InterventionExamination of the study hypothesis in a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind group comparison in patients with documented paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
40 mg/day Olmesartanmedoxomil versus Placebo.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Angiotensin II-Antagonist
Primary outcome measurePercentage of days with documented episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (number of days with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/number of days with at least one readable Tele-ECG recording)
Secondary outcome measures1. Time to first occurrence of a documented relapse of atrial fibrillation
2. Time to first occurrence of a symptomatic documented episode of AF
3. Time to persistent atrial fibrillation
4. Time to prescription of the recovery-medication
5. Number of hospitalizations for cardiovascular reasons (-> Endpoint review)
6. Number of intermediate medical visits for cardiovascular reasons (-> Endpoint review) without hospitalization
7. Number of cerebrovascular events
8. Quality of life
