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 trial tests a new device that uses pulsed-field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem) in people recently diagnosed. The goal is to restore a normal heartbeat.
This study tests a new type of catheter ablation (a procedure that uses energy to treat irregular heartbeats) for atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. You may qualify if you have recurring irregular heartbeats that haven't responded well to heart medications and are planning to have this procedure.
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 trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
This study tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
