Pulse field ablation for atrial fibrillation mechanics
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (brief or occasional irregular heartbeats) and your doctor says ablation is a good option
- You have had an EKG showing atrial fibrillation in the past year
- You can take blood thinners and do not have a blood clot in your heart
- You have not had prior heart surgery or ablation inside your left atrium

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
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 study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective in restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
