Comparing different radiofrequency modes for atrial fibrillation ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests three different ways of delivering radiofrequency energy using a specific catheter (QDOT) during a first-time procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to find which method works best for patients with recent or short-lasting AF episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- This is your first procedure to treat atrial fibrillation
- Your atrial fibrillation episodes last less than 48 hours (paroxysmal) or between 7 days and 3 months (early persistent)
- You have had at least one AF episode in the past year
- You have health insurance

This study tests a special catheter that uses two types of energy to fix the irregular heartbeats in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to see if it's safe and effective in helping restore a normal heart rhythm.
This study compares different ways of doing a procedure called catheter ablation to treat a type of atrial fibrillation that lasts longer than 7 days. They want to see if adding an extra step to the standard treatment helps more than just doing the standard treatment alone. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups.
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
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.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for months or years). One method uses pulsed field energy and the other uses radiofrequency heat to fix the heart's electrical signals. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients having their first ablation procedure.
This study compares a newer, faster type of ablation (high-power short-duration) with the standard approach for treating atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
