Full-Avoidance vs. Permissive/Regulated Drinking & Outcomes On Fibrillation
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Fibrillation (Paroxysmal)
In brief
The goal of this study is to assess the short-term effects of minimal and moderate drinking on atrial fibrillation (AFib) episodes in a real-world population diagnosed with 'come-and-go'/paroxysmal AFib. The question it aims to answer is: Is there a greater occurrence of AFib episodes when participants are allowed to consume alcohol according to random assignment? Participants will: * Be given daily random assignments to avoid or not to avoid alcohol * Wear an adhesive electrocardiographic (ECG) heart monitor * Wear a wrist-worn fitness tracker * Wear an anklet transdermal alcohol monitor * Wear an adhesive glucose monitor * Complete morning and evening surveys daily Participants may be compensated up to $50 for full completion of the study. This study can be done in-person or remote.
