Burst stimulation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of pacing called burst stimulation to see if it can help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who are already scheduled for their first catheter ablation. The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce AF episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF episodes that stop on their own and last less than 7 days).
- You are scheduled for your first catheter ablation for AF.
- You do not have significant heart disease (like severe valve problems or dilated cardiomyopathy).
- You have never had a catheter ablation for any type of atrial arrhythmia before.
- You do not have hyperthyroidism, an active cancer, or a serious illness expected to shorten your life to less than a year.

This study tests a new way to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using pulsed field energy. The goal is to block abnormal electrical signals from the pulmonary veins and superior vena cava, which may help prevent AF episodes from coming back.
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.
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 trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This study tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
