Safer ablation for atrial fibrillation using high-power energy
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, higher-power energy setting during a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see if it reduces the risk of injury to the esophagus (the food pipe) while still being effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a thyroid problem or other reversible condition.
- Your atrial fibrillation is not controlled by medications and causes symptoms.
- You do not have significant heart valve disease or heart failure with reduced pumping function.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you agree to use contraception if needed.

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.
This trial studies a specific heart-rhythm procedure that uses higher power for a shorter time to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat. It may help some people control AF and reduce rhythm episodes, while doctors compare outcomes using their chosen approach.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This study tests a new way to treat long-lasting atrial fibrillation using focused energy (pulse field ablation) guided by special heart mapping. It may help people who have not improved with medications or have other heart problems like heart failure.
This study tests advanced technology to improve how atrial fibrillation (AFib) is treated with a heart ablation procedure. It may help patients who are already advised to have AFib ablation by seeing how well the approach works in real clinical practice.
This trial tests two different catheters that use pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem). It aims to find which one works better for people who need blood thinners but have a high risk of bleeding.
