Effect of Tirzepatide on Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Catheter Ablation in Obese Patients

Study acronym: TEAR-AF
Not Yet Recruiting Phase 4
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Obese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a high recurrence rate after catheter ablation, even at experienced centers. Weight reduction improves post-ablation outcomes, but lifestyle measures alone are difficult to sustain. Tirzepatide, a once-weekly GIP/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist, produces greater weight loss than GLP-1 monotherapy and may confer additional cardiometabolic benefits. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, superiority trial evaluates whether adding standardized tirzepatide treatment to a structured lifestyle intervention - compared with the lifestyle intervention alone - reduces AF recurrence within 1 year after ablation in obese patients.
