Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if using a special heart map to guide the treatment works better than the standard approach. If you have intermittent irregular heartbeats from AF, this trial might help improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go, not constant).
- Your symptoms are not controlled by medication, or you cannot take these medications.
- You are scheduled to have an ablation procedure.
- Your left atrium (one of the heart's chambers) is not enlarged beyond 50 mm.
- You are currently eligible to receive blood thinners (anticoagulation therapy) to prevent stroke.

This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
This study tests a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
This trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
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 special catheter that uses pulsed field energy to ablate (destroy) the tiny areas in the heart causing irregular heartbeats. It is designed for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) that hasn't been controlled by medication.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
