Advanced heart MRI for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look closely at the structure and function of the heart's upper chambers (the atria) in people with atrial fibrillation, compared with healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the condition and possibly improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- If you have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm), you must already be enrolled in the MAESTRIA-AFNET 10 study.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must have no known heart problems and not be taking any heart medication.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan with contrast dye, which means no claustrophobia, no metal implants, and normal kidney function.
- You must agree to take part and be covered by French health insurance (social security).
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or of childbearing age without effective birth control.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses high-resolution MRI scans to get a detailed picture of the heart before a special type of ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to help doctors target the treatment more precisely.
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.
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 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 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 uses advanced MRI scans to better understand atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you have been diagnosed with AFib and can safely undergo an MRI, you may be able to join this study at the Cleveland Clinic.
