Heart MRI to predict rhythm control success in atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses heart MRI to see if it can predict how well treatment (cardioversion or ablation) will work for people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. The goal is to find better ways to choose the right treatment for each person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You are about to have your first successful cardioversion (medication or electric shock) or your first catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation or flutter.
- You have symptoms of atrial fibrillation or flutter, like a fluttering heart, shortness of breath, or fatigue.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 uses a special MRI scan to see if heart scarring matches low-voltage areas detected during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. If the scan results are consistent, it could help doctors better plan ablation procedures.
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 study uses a special heart MRI and a small heart rhythm monitor to see who is more likely to develop atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass surgery. If it works, it could help doctors spot higher-risk patients earlier and guide follow-up care.
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.
