New procedure vs standard care for intermittent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for intermittent atrial fibrillation: a standard procedure that isolates the pulmonary veins and a newer procedure that targets nerve clusters around the heart. The goal is to see which approach better controls heart rhythm without the need for long-term medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with intermittent (paroxysmal) atrial fibrillation, confirmed by ECG or Holter monitor. This means your heart rhythm issues come and go.
- Your 'deceleration capacity' (a measure of how well your body calms your heartbeat) is above a certain threshold (>7.5 ms).
- You are expected to live for at least another year in the opinion of your doctor.
- You are 18 years old or older.

This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
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 study tests a new way to treat long-lasting atrial fibrillation using focused energy (pulse field ablation) guided by special heart mapping. It may help people who have not improved with medications or have other heart problems like heart failure.
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
