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 procedure called catheter ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats in atrial fibrillation, can improve outcomes in people who also have heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved pumping function. The procedure aims to restore a normal heart rhythm and may help reduce symptoms.
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 study compares two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and a specific type of heart failure. It looks at whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which uses heat to fix the heart's rhythm) works better than taking daily heart rhythm medications.
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.
