Using MRI to study atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to better understand atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you have been diagnosed with AFib and can safely undergo an MRI, you may be able to join this study at the Cleveland Clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat)
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely
- You must not have any condition that makes gadolinium contrast (a dye used in some MRIs) unsafe for you

This trial looks at how the heart's electrical signals work in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart muscle becomes thickened) who also have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The goal is to understand these signals better during a planned ablation procedure, which is a treatment to fix the irregular rhythm.
This study tracks patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) over time to better understand the condition and improve care. You may be asked to share health information and attend follow-up visits.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to get detailed pictures of the heart's structure and function in people with different types of atrial fibrillation (AF) and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand AF and improve future treatments.
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 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 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.
