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 newer pulsed energy technique to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It targets specific heart areas to help restore a normal rhythm, potentially reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
This trial tests a newer treatment called pulsed field ablation (PFA) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), where the heart's rhythm is irregular and comes and goes on its own within 7 days. The goal is to see if PFA can restore a normal heart rhythm while better protecting the heart's left atrial function, which helps pump blood effectively. If you have AF and medications haven't worked, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
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 studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
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.
