High-power short treatment for irregular heartbeat
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific heart-rhythm procedure that uses higher power for a shorter time to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat. It may help some people control AF and reduce rhythm episodes, while doctors compare outcomes using their chosen approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal or persistent).
- You agree to join the study by signing the informed consent form.
- You are currently taking a blood thinner by mouth (oral anticoagulation).
- You have not had a prior AF ablation procedure.
- Your heart pumping strength (LVEF) is 35% or higher.
- You cannot join if you might be pregnant, or if you can’t safely have X-rays.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special catheter that uses two types of energy to fix the irregular heartbeats in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to see if it's safe and effective in helping restore a normal heart rhythm.
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 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 trial studies catheter ablation, a procedure that targets heart rhythm triggers, for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help improve rhythm control, but you must meet specific heart and testing requirements and avoid certain conditions.
This study tests a new, higher-power energy setting during a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see if it reduces the risk of injury to the esophagus (the food pipe) while still being effective.
