A Case Control Study to Investigate the Possible Association Between Atrial Fibrillation and Endothelium Dysfunction by Using Flow-Mediated Vasodilation Method

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by National Taiwan University Hospital, December 2004

Sponsored by:	National Taiwan University Hospital
Information provided by:	National Taiwan University Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00173966

Purpose

Endothelial function is closely related to the hemostasis , vascular tone, and organ perfusion in cardiovascular system, and its dysfunction would cause overactivation of the coagulative system to induce thrombus formation. So we study the relationship between the endothelial function and atrial fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation
Endothelial Function

Brugada syndrome familial atrial fibrillation short QT syndrome
