Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have AF that causes symptoms, and a doctor has recorded it with an ECG or similar device in the last 2 years.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have not had any prior surgery or catheter ablation for AF.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other metal heart device.
- You are not pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding (if applicable).
- You are willing to attend all required visits and tests.

This study tests a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed electric fields to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach safely and effectively restores a normal heart rhythm in people who have been recently diagnosed.
This study tests a newer ablation technique using pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may qualify if you were recently diagnosed with AF and haven't had ablation before.
This study tests a special catheter that uses pulsed field energy to ablate (destroy) the tiny areas in the heart causing irregular heartbeats. It is designed for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) that hasn't been controlled by medication.
This trial tests a newer treatment called pulsed field ablation (PFA) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), where the heart's rhythm is irregular and comes and goes on its own within 7 days. The goal is to see if PFA can restore a normal heart rhythm while better protecting the heart's left atrial function, which helps pump blood effectively. If you have AF and medications haven't worked, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
This trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
