Augmented reality help for complex heart ablation procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using augmented reality (computer-generated images over the real world) can help doctors perform complex heart ablation procedures (a treatment for irregular heartbeats) more accurately. It aims to see if this technology improves outcomes and makes the procedure safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular and often rapid heart rate.
- You are scheduled to have a heart ablation procedure, a treatment that uses heat or cold to fix heart rhythm problems.
- You can provide written consent to participate.
- You are not currently participating in another clinical trial.

This trial tests whether using a special heart-mapping device during ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) can improve outcomes for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and an enlarged left heart chamber.
This trial tests a new way to map the heart's electrical signals to help doctors better target and treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you're having a procedure to treat AF, this study may help improve the success of your treatment.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence tool to read your heart's electrical signals and check how well your heart is recovering after a procedure to fix an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. It aims to find early signs of heart failure and guide better care.
This trial looks at how the heart's electrical signals work in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart muscle becomes thickened) who also have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The goal is to understand these signals better during a planned ablation procedure, which is a treatment to fix the irregular rhythm.
This trial tests whether a “virtual” computer map created from your heart scans can help doctors do catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to improve the procedure for people whose AF symptoms were not controlled well with anti-arrhythmia medicines.
This study tests new AI software (Volta AF-Xplorer II) that helps doctors guide catheter ablation—a procedure to treat irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation. The software may help doctors perform the procedure more effectively and safely in real-world settings.
