Stroke risk after heart rhythm procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people having a catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) might have a stroke or mini-stroke soon after. It may help doctors understand and prevent these risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a catheter ablation to treat an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
- You have not had a stroke or mini-stroke before the procedure.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have complete medical records available for the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for biomarkers (biological markers in your blood) in people having a heart procedure called catheter ablation for certain heart rhythm problems. The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve future treatment.
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 trial studies a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who have had a brain hemorrhage. The procedure aims to reduce stroke risk and improve heart rhythm without increasing bleeding risk.
This study looks at whether a newer type of heart ablation (using pulsed energy) is safe for the brain. It involves an MRI before and after the procedure to check for any changes.
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 follows people after a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It aims to learn which factors help predict outcomes, so future care can be better tailored.
