Heart MRI to predict rhythm control success in atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses heart MRI before a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm (cardioversion or ablation) to see if it can predict how well the rhythm will be maintained. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and are scheduled for a procedure to restore normal rhythm, such as cardioversion or catheter ablation.
- You have not had a blood clot in your heart confirmed by an ultrasound or MRI.
- You are able to have an MRI and do not have any metal implants or devices that are not MRI-safe.
- You can receive the contrast dye used for MRI (gadolinium) without allergic reaction or kidney problems.

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 uses MRI scans of the heart before surgery to see if certain changes can predict who might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after coronary artery bypass surgery. If changes are found, doctors may be able to monitor or treat patients earlier to prevent complications.
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 study uses an MRI scan before heart surgery to look for heart scarring that may predict who will develop atrial fibrillation afterward. Knowing the risk ahead of time could help doctors monitor you more closely and plan prevention.
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 trial studies whether CT scans and heart MRI scans (done around the time of atrial fibrillation ablation) can help care planning and results. It may help your team better understand your heart before and after the procedure.
