Testing two heart procedures for atrial fibrillation in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two different ablation procedures (treatments that target heart rhythm triggers) for people with atrial fibrillation and reduced heart pumping. It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for improving your heart rhythm when you also have heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have persistent or long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation
- Your left atrium is at least moderately enlarged (as seen on scans)
- Your heart pumping function (LVEF) is under 50%
- You must be medically ready for AF/heart failure treatment (not yet ‘optimized’ can exclude you)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a two-step procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation that combines a heart ablation with isolation of a small heart pouch. It aims to see if this approach is more effective than standard care.
This trial studies abnormal electrical signals in the right upper heart chamber and how they relate to atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help improve how doctors target AF treatment during catheter ablation for people who have AF symptoms.
This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which fixes the heart's electrical signals) can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It focuses on those whose heart pumping strength is mildly reduced or preserved (above 40%).
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.
This study compares two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure: one is a procedure to fix the irregular heartbeat (AF ablation), and the other involves a different type of pacing for the heart. It aims to find which approach helps you feel better and stay out of the hospital.
