Study on weight loss surgery for heart failure with irregular heartbeat
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if weight loss surgery can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) improve their heart condition. You may join if you are between 45 and 70, have a BMI of 32 to 40, and have mild to moderate heart failure with preserved pumping function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms of heart failure as defined by heart doctors
- Your heart's pumping strength is at least 40%
- You have an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that comes and goes or is persistent
- You are between 45 and 70 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 32 to 40
- You are willing to consider both treatment approaches: surgery and medical care

This study tests if weight loss surgery can help control atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It is for people with a BMI between 35 and 65 who have symptomatic AF and may or may not have had a prior AF procedure.
This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which fixes the heart's electrical signals) can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It focuses on those whose heart pumping strength is mildly reduced or preserved (above 40%).
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 trial tests whether early catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) helps people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It looks at how this treatment affects your heart function and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
This study tests whether a combination of catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) and a structured exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with diastolic heart failure and a recent onset of persistent atrial fibrillation.
