Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT03355456Recruiting
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with low-voltage mapping
This trial studies a catheter procedure that targets areas in the heart that show low electrical voltage to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may be eligible if you have non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, have tried heart rhythm medicines, and your scan shows low-voltage areas in the left atrium.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT07626411RecruitingPhase 3
Blood Thinner Study for Irregular Heartbeat
This study tests a new blood thinner to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem). You may qualify if you have atrial fibrillation and at least one risk factor for stroke, or if you've never taken a blood thinner before.
Marion, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06802081RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in people with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight loss and blood sugar control, can improve the heart rhythm condition atrial fibrillation. If you have AFib and are overweight or obese, this trial may be an option for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Toledo, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07436299Recruiting
New ultrasound method for heart pressure in atrial fibrillation
This study tests a new way to use ultrasound (echocardiogram) to measure heart pressure in people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Participants will have an ultrasound and a heart catheterization to see if the new ultrasound method can accurately detect elevated pressures.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Springfield, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT07175428RecruitingPhase 2
Safety of a New Blood Thinner in AFib Patients
This study tests the safety of a new blood thinner for people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who need long-term stroke prevention. If you qualify, the study will compare this medication to standard anticoagulation therapy.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07430956RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation without standard blood thinners
This trial tests a new medication to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot safely take standard blood thinners. The drug works by blocking a different clotting factor, which may lower bleeding risks.
Marion, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03444337Recruiting
High-resolution MRI before a special heart ablation for atrial fibrillation
This study uses high-resolution MRI scans to get a detailed picture of the heart before a special type of ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to help doctors target the treatment more precisely.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07122947Recruiting
Apple Watch to detect AFib after heart surgery
This study tests if an Apple Watch can help detect when atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) comes back after heart surgery. You'll wear an Apple Watch and a small skin patch (Zio Patch) to track your heart rhythm.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT07087587Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for AFib: a personalized trial
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine can reduce the number of AFib episodes you have. It's a personalized 'N-of-1' trial, meaning you'll try both CPAP and no CPAP at different times to see what works best for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - 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 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.
