Checking brain safety after a new heart procedure

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 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 looks at whether people having a catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) might have a stroke or mini-stroke soon after. It may help doctors understand and prevent these risks.

This study looks at whether a newer type of heart ablation (pulsed-field ablation) that also treats the back wall of the heart helps heart function better than just the standard vein isolation. If you are having this ablation, the study will use MRI scans to check your heart's pumping and relaxation before and after the procedure.

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.

This study looks at how treating atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) with a procedure called ablation—which uses heat or cold to fix the heart's electrical signals—might help improve brain function and recovery after a stroke. It aims to see if controlling the heart rhythm can lead to better neurological outcomes.
