Virtual mapping guided catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a “virtual” computer map created from your heart scans can help doctors do catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to improve the procedure for people whose AF symptoms were not controlled well with anti-arrhythmia medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old
- You have atrial fibrillation (AF) that was not controlled by anti-arrhythmia medicine, and you are getting catheter ablation
- You must have the needed recordings from a 3D CT scan, an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), and an electrocardiogram (ECG)
- You do not have severe heart shape problems or significant blood vessel disease
- Your kidney function must be good enough (eGFR 30 or higher)
- You have not had prior procedures such as atrial ablation or a MAZE surgery

This trial tests a special catheter to map abnormal heart rhythms like ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need a procedure to find and treat the source of these fast or irregular heartbeats.
This study compares two techniques for treating persistent atrial fibrillation: one uses standard anatomy-based ablation, and the other uses a special mapping system to guide the procedure. It aims to find which method works better for people who have not had prior ablation.
This study tests whether using a 3D heart “scar map” helps doctors choose a better catheter ablation strategy for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help reduce ongoing AF by targeting the scar area in the left atrium.
This trial tests a new way to map the heart's electrical signals to help doctors better target and treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you're having a procedure to treat AF, this study may help improve the success of your treatment.
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.
This trial tests whether using a special heart-mapping device during ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) can improve outcomes for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and an enlarged left heart chamber.
