Heart scan to guide atrial fibrillation treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to see if heart scarring matches low-voltage areas detected during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. If the scan results are consistent, it could help doctors better plan ablation procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation
- You are scheduled to have catheter ablation
- You can sign a consent form to participate
- You do not have a blood clot in your heart
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no claustrophobia, pacemaker, or severe kidney problems)

This study uses a special heart MRI to look at how ablation creates scar tissue in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors improve how ablation is done and understand which technique works best.
This study looks at blood-related “clotting” signs and heart scan results in people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are getting a catheter ablation. It may help doctors better understand AF and choose treatments more precisely.
This trial studies whether CT scans and heart MRI scans (done around the time of atrial fibrillation ablation) can help care planning and results. It may help your team better understand your heart before and after the procedure.
This study uses an MRI scan before heart surgery to look for heart scarring that may predict who will develop atrial fibrillation afterward. Knowing the risk ahead of time could help doctors monitor you more closely and plan prevention.
This trial studies abnormal electrical signals in the right upper heart chamber and how they relate to atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help improve how doctors target AF treatment during catheter ablation for people who have AF symptoms.
This trial checks whether a specific MRI-safe 12-lead heart recording (ECG) works correctly during MRI scans. It may help improve how doctors monitor heart rhythm while imaging, especially for people with atrial fibrillation.
