Heart remodeling after pulsed field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a new type of heart procedure, called pulsed field ablation, affects the heart's structure in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves heart function over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week)
- Your left atrium (one of the heart's upper chambers) is enlarged, between 4 and 6 cm in size
- You have stopped taking certain heart rhythm medications (except amiodarone) for at least 5 half-lives before the procedure
- You are not taking beta-blockers or diuretics before or after the procedure
- You have not had prior heart surgery or catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or major heart procedure in the last 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed-field) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) that lasts more than 7 days. You may qualify if you have symptoms and haven't had other heart ablation procedures except for one specific type.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares three different ways to use this ablation to try to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
This study tests a newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
