Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05836987RecruitingPhase 3
Smartwatch monitoring trial to guide blood thinner use for AF
This study tests whether continuous heart-rhythm monitoring with a smartwatch can better guide treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) while you stay on a blood thinner. The goal is to improve safety and reduce stroke risk by catching AF patterns more closely.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–85 - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06324201Recruiting
Long-term safety of a new ablation system for paroxysmal AF
This study tests a new system (QDOT MICRO and VISITAG SURPOINT) used during a catheter ablation procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to see how safe and effective it is over the long term for people whose AF comes and goes and hasn't been controlled by medication.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07298473Recruiting
Redo ablation for recurrent atrial fibrillation with Sphere-9 catheter
This trial tests a new catheter and system for people who have had one previous ablation for atrial fibrillation but still have symptoms. It aims to see if a repeat procedure can safely and effectively treat recurrent episodes.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03546374Recruiting
Stop a common heart rhythm with surgery add-on therapy
This study looks at whether an added heart device approach around the time of planned open-heart surgery can help treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a long-lasting irregular heartbeat. It may help lower ongoing AF burden in people who also need non-emergency heart surgery.

What taking part in a paroxysmal 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.
