How quitting alcohol affects heart rhythm after ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) that comes and goes or is persistent.
- You drink more than 5 alcoholic drinks per week on a regular basis.
- You have not had a catheter ablation before for your heart rhythm problem.
- You are willing to try to stop drinking alcohol for the study.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.

This study tests whether applying a small amount of alcohol to a specific heart vein (“vein of Marshall”) is safe and feasible during a standard atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. It may help improve AF treatment, but the goal here is mainly to see if the approach can be done safely in the right patients.
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.
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 how treating atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) with a procedure called ablation—which uses heat or cold to fix the heart's electrical signals—might help improve brain function and recovery after a stroke. It aims to see if controlling the heart rhythm can lead to better neurological outcomes.
This study follows adults who have had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, to understand who is more likely to have it return. It may help doctors predict risk and plan follow-up after the procedure.
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.
