Ablation and Exercise for Heart Failure with Normal Pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) and a structured exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with diastolic heart failure and a recent onset of persistent atrial fibrillation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved pumping function (diastolic heart failure).
- You have a type of atrial fibrillation called 'short-persistent' that started within the last year and causes symptoms.
- You have not had a prior catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation.
- You do not have severe heart valve disease or other serious heart conditions that would make the study unsafe.
- You are able to exercise (walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike) without physical or mental limitations.

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 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 study compares two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the pumping function is still normal). You would receive either catheter ablation (a procedure to correct the heart's rhythm) or anti-arrhythmia drugs, to see which works better to improve your symptoms.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation for people who have both persistent atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if this ablation safely helps control the heart rhythm.
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 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.
