Ablation for afib with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which fixes the heart's electrical signals) can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It focuses on those whose heart pumping strength is mildly reduced or preserved (above 40%).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have heart failure symptoms.
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 40%.
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a fast or irregular heartbeat) in the last 4 months.
- You have not had a prior catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- 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 trial tests if a pacemaker plus an ablation procedure can improve heart failure symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation. It is for those with moderate to severe heart failure who are already on the right medications.
This study compares two different ablation procedures (treatments that target heart rhythm triggers) for people with atrial fibrillation and reduced heart pumping. It aims to see which approach works best and is safest for improving your heart rhythm when you also have heart failure.
