CT and heart MRI add-on for atrial fibrillation ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether CT scans and heart MRI scans (done around the time of atrial fibrillation ablation) can help care planning and results. It may help your team better understand your heart before and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation within the next 6 months.
- You are 18 years or older and can legally consent to the study.
- You can attend required follow-up visits.
- You do not have a pacemaker-type or defibrillator-type implant that makes scanning unsafe.
- You can safely receive scan contrast if needed (no allergy to iodine or gadolinium, and kidney function is good enough).
- You are able to complete scans (no severe claustrophobia, and MRI/CT can be performed).

This trial uses a special CT scan to measure how much extra fluid is in your heart muscle. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat your atrial fibrillation before you have a procedure called ablation.
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.
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.
This study looks at blood-related “clotting” signs and heart scan results in people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are getting a catheter ablation. It may help doctors better understand AF and choose treatments more precisely.
This study is a registry that collects information from patients with atrial fibrillation who are having an ablation procedure. It aims to improve care and research by tracking outcomes. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for an ablation, and some participants may be asked to take part in additional optional sub-studies.
This trial is testing whether a coronary CT angiography scan, performed before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, helps doctors find hidden blockages in heart arteries. It may help people without known heart disease avoid unnecessary procedures.
