Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) A person with a previous history of antiarrhythmic treatment failure 2) Those with severe structural heart disease (severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (HFrEF (EF = 40%), moderate or higher mitral valve stenosis (moderate or higher stenosis on echocardiography), mechanical valve replacement, dilated cardiomyopathy) 3) a person diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation 4) Severe kidney (glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or those on dialysis) or liver function Due to failure (Child-Pugh class B or higher, ALT or AST more than three times the upper limit of normal) a person whose use of antiarrhythmic drugs is restricted 5) Anyone with contraindications for dronedarone or Class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs 6) A person who has participated in another clinical trial within three months as of the date of randomization (first dosing) 7) A person who disagrees that he/she should not participate in another clinical trial within 14 days of the end date of participation 8) Women of childbearing age who are pregnant or who have not consented to effective contraception during participation in the pregnancy test 9) Other persons deemed inappropriate to participate in clinical trials under the judgment of the researcher

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy Assessment: Compare atrial fibrillation recurrence rates in Dronedarone and Class Ic antiarrhythmic agents.;Safety Assessment: Compare the percentage of drug discontinuation due to drug-related side effects of Dronedarone and Class Ic antiarrhythmic agents.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in quality of life (QoL);Medication adherence;Utilization rates of atrial fibrillation treatment options (including use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), medical therapy(rate and rhythm control), atrial fibrillation catheter ablation, and DC cardioversion), ;Incidence of other arrhythmias detected by Holter or wearable patch ECG (e.g., premature atrial contractions (PACs), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), atrioventricular (AV) block, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT)), ;Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, stroke, hospitalization for worsening heart failure, and hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS))
