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 study looks at whether losing weight can help reduce the progression of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It might help people who are overweight and have AF symptoms.
This study compares two approaches for older adults with atrial fibrillation: a procedure called catheter ablation (which uses heat or cold to fix the heart's rhythm) versus conservative care (medications and lifestyle changes). The goal is to see which approach is better for improving quality of life and reducing symptoms in people aged 78 and above.
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 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 looks at how heart structure and fat around the heart differ between men and women, and how those differences affect the success of an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). By using CT scans and procedure details, researchers hope to improve treatment for everyone.
