Exercise MRI Study of Heart Function After Ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an exercise MRI to look at how the upper chambers of the heart (left atrium) work after ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if the procedure improves heart function during exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have paroxysmal (comes and goes) atrial fibrillation, not the constant type
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 50% or higher
- You are scheduled to have a catheter ablation for your AFib
- You have not had a prior ablation for AFib, and you do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator

This study tests a new imaging system that helps doctors see inside the heart during a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may allow for more precise treatment and improve outcomes for people with this condition.
This study looks at how well your heart performs during exercise before and after you have a procedure to manage your atrial fibrillation (either a pacemaker with ablation or cardioversion). The goal is to see if these treatments improve your heart's function and exercise ability.
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.
This study looks at whether a newer type of heart ablation (pulsed-field ablation) that also treats the back wall of the heart helps heart function better than just the standard vein isolation. If you are having this ablation, the study will use MRI scans to check your heart's pumping and relaxation before and after the procedure.
This trial is testing whether a structured exercise program (combining cardio and strength training) can help people who have already had a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if this type of training can improve heart health and quality of life.
This study uses high-resolution MRI scans to get a detailed picture of the heart before a special type of ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to help doctors target the treatment more precisely.
