Factors linked to slow heart rate after pulsed field ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people have a slower heart rate after a heart procedure called pulmonary vein isolation using pulsed field ablation (PFA). It aims to find out what factors might make this more likely, which could help doctors predict and manage it better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation using pulsed field ablation (PFA) for an irregular heartbeat.
- You do not have a permanent pacemaker or a special pacemaker for heart failure (CRT device).
- You do not have a dual-chamber ICD (a type of defibrillator).
- You have not recently had cardiac tamponade (fluid pressing on the heart).
- You have not recently had an acute stroke or severe bleeding that required surgery.

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.
This study tests a special catheter that uses pulsed field energy to ablate (destroy) the tiny areas in the heart causing irregular heartbeats. It is designed for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) that hasn't been controlled by medication.
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) using pulsed electrical energy to target the heart tissue that causes the irregular rhythm. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for people having their first such treatment.
This trial tests a newer treatment called pulsed field ablation (PFA) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), where the heart's rhythm is irregular and comes and goes on its own within 7 days. The goal is to see if PFA can restore a normal heart rhythm while better protecting the heart's left atrial function, which helps pump blood effectively. If you have AF and medications haven't worked, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
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.
