New ultrasound method for heart pressure in atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to use ultrasound (echocardiogram) to measure heart pressure in people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Participants will have an ultrasound and a heart catheterization to see if the new ultrasound method can accurately detect elevated pressures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).
- You are already scheduled for a heart catheterization (a test that measures pressures inside your heart).
- You can have both a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) and the catheterization within 8 hours of each other.
- You are not taking any new heart medications between the ultrasound and the catheterization.
- You do not have severe heart valve problems, a mechanical mitral valve, or certain other heart or health conditions.

This trial checks if people with certain heart conditions seen on an echo (like an enlarged heart or stiff heart muscle) have undetected atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to find AF early so it can be treated to prevent strokes.
This trial tests a new way to map the heart's electrical signals to help doctors better target and treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you're having a procedure to treat AF, this study may help improve the success of your treatment.
This study compares two different treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who also have heart failure. One strategy uses medications only, while the other includes a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm. The goal is to find the best way to improve symptoms and outcomes.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence tool to read your heart's electrical signals and check how well your heart is recovering after a procedure to fix an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. It aims to find early signs of heart failure and guide better care.
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.
This study tests using a new electrical pulse treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) early on, in people who also have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if this treatment helps manage both conditions better.
