Left atrial fibrosis in persistent atrial fibrillation study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how scar tissue in the heart's upper chambers relates to other health issues in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve understanding and treatment for this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation that is planned for a procedure called catheter ablation.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 19 and 40.
- Your atrial fibrillation does not stem from a heart valve problem.
- You have not had a previous atrial fibrillation ablation procedure.
- You are not taking certain medications that could interfere with the measurement of scar tissue.
- You do not have known or treated sleep apnea or pulmonary artery hypertension.

This pilot study looks at whether obstructive sleep apnea leads to heart scarring (called atrial fibrosis), especially in people with and without an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation). It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why, using sleep testing and heart imaging.
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.
This study looks at early changes in the heart related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using health data and biomarkers. It aims to find better ways to predict or understand AF, especially around procedures like ablation or cardioversion.
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
This study looks at what happens in the heart in people with persistent atrial fibrillation when they undergo an ablation or Maze surgery. It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve future care for people needing these procedures.
This study tests a new way to analyze heart signals in people with long-standing atrial fibrillation that hasn't gotten better with medication. It may help doctors understand your heart rhythm better and guide future treatments.
