Recruiting studies near Austin
- NCT05836987RecruitingPhase 3
Smartwatch-guided blood thinners for intermittent atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether using a smartwatch to monitor your heartbeat can safely guide when to take blood thinners. If you have intermittent atrial fibrillation, you may be able to avoid taking blood thinners when your heart rhythm is normal.
Austin, TexasAges 22–85 - NCT07227532Recruiting
Testing a new catheter for atrial fibrillation treatment
This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
Austin, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05510167Recruiting
How quitting alcohol affects heart rhythm after ablation
This study looks at whether stopping alcohol after a heart procedure called catheter ablation helps prevent irregular heartbeats from coming back and improves your thinking and quality of life.
Austin, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06989775Recruiting
BoxX-NoAF Trial: Preventing Stroke During Heart Surgery
This trial tests a device to close a small pouch in the heart during planned bypass surgery, to help prevent future strokes. It is for people who have never had an irregular heartbeat and are at higher stroke risk due to age and other factors.
Austin, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07523750Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT04088071Recruiting
Ablation for heart rhythm problems using a specific technology
This study looks at how well catheter ablation works for treating certain heart rhythm disorders (like atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias) using a specific brand of catheters. The aim is to gather real-world data to better understand the procedure's outcomes.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06099730Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06784466Recruiting
New ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study is testing a new type of ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It uses special energy to create scar tissue in the heart to block faulty electrical signals. If you have AF that isn’t controlled by medication, you may qualify.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07840365RecruitingPhase 3
Finding the best blood-thinner plan after a Watchman device procedure
This study tests which blood-thinner approach works best after a procedure to close a small heart pouch (left atrial appendage) with a Watchman device. It aims to prevent strokes while reducing bleeding risks.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07575269Recruiting
New ablation treatment for irregular heartbeat
This trial tests a new tool called FARAFLEX that uses pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). The goal is to see if this method can safely stop AF symptoms in people whose medications haven't worked.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06335082Enrolling by invitation
Study of Farapulse ablation for atrial fibrillation
This registry is collecting information to see how well the Farapulse PFA system works and how safe it is for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm problem. If you are scheduled to have an ablation for AF with this system, this study will follow your progress.

What taking part in a atrial fibrillation study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
