Improving AF Ablation Outcomes in Patients with Obesity
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether special care strategies can help obese patients have better results after a catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem). Catheter ablation uses heat or cold to fix the irregular heartbeats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) that your doctor recommends treating with catheter ablation
- You plan to have your ablation procedure at National Taiwan University Hospital
- You can commit to returning for follow-up visits after your procedure
- You are willing and able to provide informed consent
- You are not enrolled in other conflicting medical studies
- You do not have a serious condition expected to cause death within 6 months

This study investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
This trial compares a procedure called catheter ablation (which uses heat to destroy tiny areas of heart tissue causing irregular rhythms) with usual medical care in adults aged 78 and older who have atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if the ablation improves outcomes and quality of life compared to standard medications.
This study tests whether a program of exercise and healthy eating changes can reduce how often atrial fibrillation (AFib) happens and help you lose weight. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have AFib, and are ready to make lifestyle changes.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
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 trial tests a new balloon-based catheter procedure to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting at least a week). The procedure uses a special energy technique to stop abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
