Ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats in atrial fibrillation, can improve outcomes in people who also have heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved pumping function. The procedure aims to restore a normal heart rhythm and may help reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath or fatigue.
- Your heart's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is greater than 40% on a recent test.
- You have elevated NT-proBNP levels, a blood test marker for heart failure.
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation recently (within 4 months) or have a certain amount of irregular heartbeat detected.
- You are on stable heart failure medications for at least 4 weeks.

This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure can help people with atrial fibrillation and a kind of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It looks at whether the procedure can improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial tests whether early catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) helps people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It looks at how this treatment affects your heart function and quality of life.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
This study looks at patients who have both atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats) and heart failure. It aims to predict health outcomes for people who are having a procedure called ablation, which aims to restore a normal heart rhythm. Participating could help doctors understand who might benefit most from this treatment.
This study tests whether a combination of catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) and a structured exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with diastolic heart failure and a recent onset of persistent atrial fibrillation.
