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 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 tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
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 trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
This study tests a new way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation using short bursts of electricity (pulsed fields) to carefully reset the heart's rhythm. It may help people whose irregular heartbeat has not improved with medication.
