2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) to Prevent Early Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Catheter-based Ablation

The proposed studies will test this hypothesis by randomizing patients with AF to 2-HOBA or placebo 7 days prior to AF ablation to allow 2-HOBA to reach steady-state levels. We hypothesize that tissue injury from AF ablation causes a large release of ROS that react with lipids to generate IsoLGs …
