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 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 how well your heart and body handle exercise before and after a procedure to fix your heart rhythm (cardioversion or pace-and-ablate). It may help doctors understand which treatment works better for people with both atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
This study tests a new type of ablation (pulsed-field ablation) for atrial fibrillation that also treats the back wall of the heart. Researchers will use MRI scans to see how the heart's pumping function changes after the procedure.
This study tests a new type of heart procedure (pulsed field ablation) to treat atrial fibrillation that doesn't go away on its own. Researchers will use MRI scans before and after to see how the left atrium (a heart chamber) changes function.
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 trial uses an AI tool to analyze your heart's electrical signals (ECG) to better understand your risk of heart failure and how well your heart recovers after a procedure called catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help guide your treatment if you have early signs of heart failure.
