Early catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether early catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) helps people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It looks at how this treatment affects your heart function and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with a weakened heart muscle (ejection fraction less than 50%).
- You have had atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) in the last 12 months, and it's causing symptoms or needs treatment.
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You are taking (or planning to start) the best medications for heart failure.
- You are on blood thinners to prevent stroke, as recommended for atrial fibrillation.
- You have not had a catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation before.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which fixes the heart's electrical signals) can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It focuses on those whose heart pumping strength is mildly reduced or preserved (above 40%).
This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure can help people with atrial fibrillation and a kind of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It looks at whether the procedure can improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a vein ablation to standard catheter ablation helps people with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It aims to find the best treatment to improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
This study looks at people with both atrial fibrillation and heart failure to see how they do after a heart procedure called ablation. It aims to find better ways to predict outcomes.
