Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation using heart mapping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) using pulsed field ablation, which uses short electrical pulses to safely target heart tissue. It may help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) who are candidates for catheter ablation, a procedure to correct heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes of irregular heartbeat that stop on their own within 7 days).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study visits and procedures.
- You do not have other serious heart conditions, untreated thyroid disease, or recent heart attack.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe obesity (BMI over 40), severe sleep apnea, or other conditions that make the procedure risky.

This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
This study tests a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of using a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if using a special heart map to guide the treatment works better than the standard approach. If you have intermittent irregular heartbeats from AF, this trial might help improve your care.
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 study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
