E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To establish whether administration of spironolactone (25 mg per day initially, titrated to a maximum of 50 mg per day) on top of standard therapy, leads to a reduction in the recurrence of documented AF episodes (symptomatic or not) occurring from randomization and within 12 months, compared with standard therapy alone, in hypertensive patients with preserved LVEF |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate whether spironolactone administration affects: - Symptomatic documented AF occurring from randomization and within 12 months, - The time of recurrence of the first documented AF episode (symptomatic or not), from randomization and within 12 months, - The cumulative recurrence rate of AF from randomization and within 12 months, - Major cardiovascular events and death (all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure) occurring from randomization and within 12 months, - The rate of cerebral/systemic thrombo-embolic and bleeding events, - Mean ventricular rate at the recurrence of AF, - Blood pressure reduction and control, - Safety parameters, particularly blood pressure, serum potassium levels and renal function from randomization and within 12 months. - To constitute a biobank for future ancillary studies

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Contraindications to spironolactone therapy: intolerance, hyperkalemia (>5.0 mmol/L), severe renal dysfunction (defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min/1,73m² (per the CKD-EPI equation). Subjects with serum creatinine ≥2.5 mg/dl are also excluded even if their eGFR is ≥30 ml/min/1,73m²), Severe liver dysfunction. Patients already treated by other potassium sparing medication (amiloride, triamterene) or MRA (spironolactone, eplerenone, potassium canreonate, finerenone). Other MRAs indication: aldosteronism, heart failure, cirrhosis ascites, nephrotic syndrome, myasthenia LVEF < 40% obtained within 6 months prior to V0 Planned atrial fibrillation ablation within 6 months after randomization Moderate-to-severe valvular heart disease Permanent AF or long-standing persistent AF as defined by the ESC guidelines AF on the ECG at the inclusion visit Previous left atrial ablation or previous maze or maze-like surgery Acute, reversible or secondary AF (infection, hyperthyroidism, pericarditis or myocarditis) Left atrium diameter > 60 mm obtained within 6 months prior to V0 Contraindication to oral anticoagulation therapy Patients with persistent bradycardia of less than 50 beats per minute, a PR interval of 0.2 second or more on ECG, second degree (or higher) atrioventricular block, and snus-node disease without an implanted pacemaker Hemodynamic instability and unstable conditions: angina or acute coronary syndrome or heart failure during the last 3 months, cardiogenic shock A life expectancy of 1 years or less Patients included or planning to be included in another medical research protocol whose pharmacological and scientific rationales might interfere with the Sponsor trial Patients unable to complete the protocol follow-up Pregnant or nursing women Adults with protective measures (curatorship or tutorship) and vulnerable patients
