Measuring heart signals during a first-time ablation for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure electrical signals in the heart during a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation, which is used to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to improve the accuracy of the treatment, which may help your heart stay in a normal rhythm for longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first-ever heart ablation procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
- You are at least 18 years old and, if you can become pregnant, you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to give written consent to take part in the study.
- Your heart must be in a normal rhythm (called sinus rhythm) at the time of the procedure.
- You cannot have had a prior ablation procedure, and you should not be participating in any other investigational drug or device study that might interfere.

This trial tests whether reusing special catheters to treat atrial fibrillation is safe, effective, and better for costs and the environment. It may help people with atrial fibrillation who need a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation.
This trial compares different techniques for a second heart ablation procedure in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who have already had one ablation. It aims to find the best approach to stop AFib from coming back.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) by isolating the veins that carry blood to your heart. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it's safe for you.
This study tests advanced technology to improve how atrial fibrillation (AFib) is treated with a heart ablation procedure. It may help patients who are already advised to have AFib ablation by seeing how well the approach works in real clinical practice.
This trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
This study looks at how personalized voltage maps of the heart's upper left chamber can help doctors better understand and treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to improve the success of a procedure called catheter ablation.
