- 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04045665RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner vs usual care for new heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 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.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05236556Enrolling by invitation
Tracking how providers use oral blood thinners for AF
This study looks at how often and how well doctors use oral blood-thinner medicines for people with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (a related heart rhythm problem). It aims to see whether “provider profiling” (using clinic patterns to guide improvements) can support safer, more consistent use of these medicines.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05997914Enrolling by invitation
Storytelling to reduce stroke risk in African Americans with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether a storytelling program can help African American patients with atrial fibrillation start taking blood thinners as recommended by their doctor. The goal is to reduce stroke risk and improve health outcomes.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06578104Recruiting
Pulsed AF Study: PulseSelect Catheter for Afib
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (Afib) using a special catheter system called PulseSelect that delivers short bursts of energy to create scar tissue in the heart. It is for people whose Afib comes and goes or stays for a while but not more than a year, and who have not had a prior ablation procedure or have a pacemaker or defibrillator.

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.
