Comparing heart procedures for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat).
- Your heart's pumping strength is above 30%.
- You are in New York Heart Association class I–III (mild to moderate heart failure).
- Your left atrium (upper heart chamber) is smaller than 55 mm on an ultrasound.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study plan.

This study compares two ways to perform a heart procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) against standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been controlled well by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
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.
This study compares two techniques for treating persistent atrial fibrillation: one uses standard anatomy-based ablation, and the other uses a special mapping system to guide the procedure. It aims to find which method works better for people who have not had prior ablation.
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.
