Alcohol and heart ablation outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how alcohol may affect atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after your first ablation (a procedure to fix the heartbeat). They'll use a special watch to monitor your heart, so they can see if drinking less improves your outcome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old
- This is your first ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation or flutter
- You drink at least 3 alcoholic drinks per week
- You can use the ScanWatch2 wearable device as instructed
- You have a Danish social security number and can read and speak Danish fluently

This study tests whether avoiding alcohol completely for two weeks helps people with AFib have fewer episodes, compared to allowing regulated drinking. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
This trial tests if a heart procedure (cardiac ablation) helps endurance athletes who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) perform better in sports. Athletes will track their training data before and after the procedure to see if their performance improves.
This study tests whether adding acupuncture can help prevent atrial fibrillation from coming back after a heart ablation procedure. It aims to lower the chance of irregular heartbeats in the months following treatment.
This trial compares a procedure called ablation (using cold, heat, or electric pulses to fix irregular heartbeats) with standard medications to see which better treats heart failure in people who also have atrial fibrillation. It may help if your heart's pumping ability is reduced and you still have symptoms despite medications.
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 trial tests if a smartphone app can help people with atrial fibrillation reduce or stop drinking alcohol. The goal is to see if cutting down on alcohol makes AF symptoms less severe or occur less often.
