it is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, crossover study on the use of an association of omega 3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, vitamin E and hawthorn (ritmonutra) in subject affected by symptomatic supraventricular ectopic beats without structural heart disease.
The study will evaluate the reduction of the number of supraventricular ectopic beats and symptoms related.
24 subjects without structural heart disease with a minimum of 300 supraventricular ectopic beats in 24 hours will be enrolled in the two participating centers and randomized to the treatment or to the placebo for 4 weeks. At the end of the first treatment period, a 24 hours Holter ECG will be performed. After 1 week of wash-out therapy, subjects will be crossed over to the other treatment for 4 weeks. Another 24 hours Holter ECG will be performed at the end of the study. During the baseline visit and during each follow up visit, symptom score and quality of life questionnaires will be completed by the subjects.
