Recruiting studies
- 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06358391Recruiting
Comparing two needles for left atrial access in heart procedures
This trial compares two devices used to create a small opening in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart so doctors can reach the left side to treat heart rhythm problems or other conditions. It may help if you need a left atrial procedure and are healthy enough for the puncture.
Bucheon-siAges 18 years+ - NCT03243175RecruitingPhase 3
Avoiding blood thinners after brain bleeding in atrial fibrillation
This Phase 3 trial studies whether it’s safer to avoid long-term blood thinners after a spontaneous brain bleed in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It compares different prevention strategies to lower the risk of stroke or other blood-vessel problems without causing new, serious bleeding.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07620262Recruiting
Combined atrial fibrillation treatment and stroke prevention study
This study tests a new approach for people with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who are also at high risk for stroke. It combines a procedure to fix the heart's electrical signals with closing off a small pouch in the heart to reduce stroke risk, potentially avoiding long-term blood thinners.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06402851RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner or none for atrial fibrillation with dialysis
This trial compares two types of blood thinners (vitamin K antagonists and factor Xa inhibitors) versus no blood thinner in people with atrial fibrillation who are on dialysis or have very advanced kidney disease. It aims to see which option is safest and most effective for preventing strokes and bleeds.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07096219Enrolling by invitation
Catheter Ablation for Leaky Mitral Valve in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
This trial tests if catheter ablation—a procedure to fix heart rhythm—can help people with a leaky mitral valve that is caused by atrial fibrillation (functional mitral regurgitation). If you have persistent atrial fibrillation and moderate leaky valve, you may benefit from this treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05841056RecruitingPhase 3
Short amiodarone treatment to prevent new heart rhythm after surgery
This trial studies whether a short course of amiodarone started right after heart surgery can reduce problems from new-onset atrial fibrillation (a common fast heart rhythm) or flutter. It may help some patients avoid ongoing rhythm issues and improve recovery soon after discharge.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04804748Recruiting
DefiPace to help prevent heart rhythm problems after heart surgery
This study tests DefiPace in people who are having planned open-chest heart surgery (bypass and/or valve surgery) to see if it can help reduce certain post-surgery heart rhythm complications. Whether it’s usable depends on your planned procedure and specific health factors.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03830320RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan to look for blood clots in the heart or lungs
This Phase 1 study uses a PET scan to detect blood clots (thrombosis) in specific groups of people. It’s testing how well the scan can find clots and how it should be timed with other heart or illness tests.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04005508Recruiting
Study sleep apnea and heart outcomes in high-risk atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.
SingaporeAges 22–99 - NCT04628078Recruiting
Echocardiogram-guided heart procedure registry for atrial fibrillation
This study keeps a real-world record of people with atrial fibrillation who are planning a procedure to close off the heart’s left atrial appendage. Doctors use echocardiography (heart ultrasound) to guide the closure and track outcomes to improve care.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04695106RecruitingPhase 4
Blood Thinner and Heart Attack Prevention Study
This study tests whether taking dabigatran (a blood thinner) combined with ticagrelor (a blood clot preventer) is safe and effective for patients with irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) who recently had a heart attack and received a stent. The goal is to prevent future blood clots while minimizing bleeding risks.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07429214Recruiting
Study of a new catheter for atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
AalstAges 18–75 - NCT05116384Recruiting
Renal nerve ablation plus AF ablation for persistent AF
This study tests whether treating kidney-related nerves along with the usual AF (irregular heartbeat) catheter procedure works better than the usual procedure alone. It may help some people with persistent AF, but you must meet specific heart and kidney safety requirements.
Short Hills, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05432024Recruiting
Heart MRI checks how well ablation lesions form
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at how ablation creates scar tissue in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors improve how ablation is done and understand which technique works best.
NieuwegeinAges 18 years+ - NCT05717725RecruitingPhase 3
Pulsed heart ablation vs fake procedure for irregular heartbeat
This trial tests whether pulsed-field ablation (a targeted treatment meant to stop abnormal heart signals) works better than a sham, or “placebo,” ablation. It is for certain people with atrial fibrillation (AF) to see if symptoms and heart rhythm outcomes improve.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT05773768Recruiting
Care pathway study for newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation patients
This study looks at new care plans (“care pathways”) and how well they work, including cost and health outcomes. It may help by comparing whether a different follow-up approach after a new atrial fibrillation diagnosis leads to better care, especially for older adults.
GroningenAges 65 years+ - NCT06065124Recruiting
Study on weight loss surgery for heart failure with irregular heartbeat
This trial tests if weight loss surgery can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) improve their heart condition. You may join if you are between 45 and 70, have a BMI of 32 to 40, and have mild to moderate heart failure with preserved pumping function.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 45–70 - NCT06542263Recruiting
CPAP for preventing AF recurrence after ablation in people with AF and sleep apnea
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine at night can help prevent atrial fibrillation from coming back after a heart procedure called catheter ablation. It is for people who have both AF and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Suzhou, JinagsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06589700Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Risk Study
This study looks at the link between the type of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and the risk of having another stroke. It involves people who have had a recent ischemic stroke and have a certain type of AF.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06650995Recruiting
Ablation and Exercise for Heart Failure with Normal Pumping
This study tests whether a combination of catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) and a structured exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with diastolic heart failure and a recent onset of persistent atrial fibrillation.
MunichAges 18–99 - NCT06657404Recruiting
Modified 'Pills-in-the-Pocket' strategy for AF after ablation
This study tests a modified 'pills-in-the-pocket' approach—taking antiarrhythmic drugs only when symptoms occur—for people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who still have arrhythmias lasting over 24 hours after their first catheter ablation. It aims to see if this strategy can safely control symptoms without needing daily medication.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06730828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
