This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous combined with oral amiodarone in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. Using a randomized controlled trial design, patients will be divided into two groups: intravenous + oral amiodarone and oral amiodarone alone. Through multiple follow-ups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-procedure, the study will compare the two treatment regimens in terms of blood concentrations of amiodarone and its metabolites, efficacy (short-term recurrence [SR], long-term recurrence [LR], and patient quality of life), and safety (adverse drug reactions). Subgroup analyses will also be conducted to explore potential differences in drug treatment effects among populations with varying risk factors. This study aims to provide valuable clinical data for post-ablation management of atrial fibrillation, contributing to the development of optimized treatment strategies to enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve patient quality of life.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental group (Intravenous + Oral Amiodarone) | Experimental | Within 24 hours post-operation, patients will receive an intravenous amiodarone loading dose of 300 mg QD along with oral amiodarone 200 mg BID. This regimen will be continued for 3 days, after which intravenous amiodarone will be discontinued, and oral amiodarone 200 mg BID will be continued for 3 months. |
|
| Control group (Oral Amiodarone only) | Placebo Comparator | Postoperatively, instead of administering intravenous amiodarone, sodium chloride injection was used as a placebo, and oral amiodarone 200 mg BID was directly given for 3 months. |
