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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 uses advanced MRI scans to look closely at the structure and function of the heart's upper chambers (the atria) in people with atrial fibrillation, compared with healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand the condition and possibly 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.
