Atrial Flutter With Rapid Ventricular Response study: Magnesium Sulfate vs Saline
Official title MAGNEsium With meToprolol for Rate Control In Atrial Fibrillation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07632157
What this study is testing
What is Magnesium Sulfate 2g?
Magnesium Sulfate 2g is an investigational medicine, given as an IV infusion (through a vein), being studied as a potential treatment for atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response.
Also referred to as Magnesium Sulfate 2 gram/50ml 0.9% NaCl.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this research study is to find out if the use of magnesium in addition to Metoprolol, a rate controlling medication that you would be offered in the Emergency Department today unrelated to this study, will help reduce your high heart rate (rapid ventricular response).
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
