Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06455098Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
This study tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation using a special catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of heart rhythm problem that comes and goes. It may be an option for people whose AF hasn't been controlled well with medication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06500988Recruiting
Smartphone app for atrial fibrillation and weight management
This study uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and a higher body weight manage their condition through tailored exercise guidance.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06445439Recruiting
Finding the Best Pacemaker Rate for Heart Failure
This study tests whether adjusting the pacing rate on a special pacemaker (CRT or conduction system pacing) can improve heart function and daily symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT06735534Recruiting
Repeat ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation with pulsed field
This trial tests a newer type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have already had one ablation. The goal is to see if it can fix the heart rhythm problem again.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.
Lanham, MarylandAges 18 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07308847Recruiting
Study of a new catheter system for treating atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new catheter and mapping system designed to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. If you have this condition, the study aims to see how well the new system works with a minimally invasive procedure.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18–80 - 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.

What taking part in a persistent 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.
