Caffeine and heart rhythm during ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how caffeine given through an IV affects the heart's electrical signals during a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if caffeine can trigger irregular heartbeats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 90 years old
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes) and are scheduled for a procedure called catheter ablation
- Your heart's pumping function is normal (ejection fraction of 50% or more)
- You do not have severe intolerance to caffeine
- You do not have liver problems or a history of substance abuse or alcoholism

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
This study looks at whether stopping alcohol after a heart procedure called catheter ablation helps prevent irregular heartbeats from coming back and improves your thinking and quality of life.
This trial tests whether ondansetron can help people with atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm) around the time of elective catheter ablation. It may improve the safety or effectiveness of the procedure by targeting a pathway involved in heart rhythm events.
This study tests advanced technology to improve how atrial fibrillation (AFib) is treated with a heart ablation procedure. It may help patients who are already advised to have AFib ablation by seeing how well the approach works in real clinical practice.
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.
This study tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats in atrial fibrillation, can improve outcomes in people who also have heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved pumping function. The procedure aims to restore a normal heart rhythm and may help reduce symptoms.
