Comparing heart tissue burns for atrial fibrillation treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to create small burns in the heart tissue to fix an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). It uses a special MRI to see how well each method works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for your first catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have had any prior ablation in the left atrium.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) must be working normally.
- Your kidney function (GFR) must be above 30%, and your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.

This study compares different standard methods of pulse field ablation (a type of energy used to treat irregular heartbeats) to see which works best for isolating the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart, helping to treat atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) by isolating the veins that carry blood to your heart. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it's safe for you.
This trial is studying a way to improve the entire process of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help people who are having this procedure for the first time and have a normal-sized left atrium and good heart function.
This trial studies different surgical techniques for treating atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help people with a history of AFib who are already scheduled for open-heart surgery.
This trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
This study tests a new way to measure electrical signals in the heart during a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation, which is used to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to improve the accuracy of the treatment, which may help your heart stay in a normal rhythm for longer.
