This study looks at how well a special catheter (THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF) and software (Ablation Index) work to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. Researchers will track 150 adults who get this procedure to see if they stay free of heart rhythm …

This study is tracking 100 adults who receive an EluPro antibiotic-eluting envelope during implantation of a heart device (like a pacemaker). The envelope slowly releases antibiotics to prevent infection. Researchers are monitoring complication rates in real-world use to see how …

This study tests a new device that uses special electrical pulses to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a condition where the heart beats irregularly. About 150 adults aged 18-75 who have not responded well to medication will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if the de…

This study tests a new device system that uses pulsed electric fields to treat atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. About 300 people with symptomatic, recurrent atrial fibrillation will receive the procedure. The goal is to see if it safely and effectively restores…

This study compares two catheter ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition where the heart beats irregularly. One method uses a standard approach with a drug called adenosine to find missed spots, while the other adds an extra ring of ablation without the drug…

This study looks at two ways to treat a type of irregular heartbeat called non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib) that doesn't go away on its own. Both methods use a new technique called pulsed-field ablation to destroy tiny areas of heart tissue causing the problem. One group…

This study tests a device called the Farapulse system, which uses electrical pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm problem. Researchers will enroll 275 adults with AFib who are already scheduled for a catheter ablation procedure. The goal is to see if …

This study compares two ways to treat a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (AFib) that causes an irregular heartbeat. The standard method uses freezing (cryoballoon), while the newer method uses electrical pulses (pulsed field ablation). The goal is to see if the new meth…

This study tests whether measuring amiodarone levels in the blood helps doctors choose the right dose for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). About 80 adults will receive different daily doses (100, 200, or 400 mg) and be monitored for thre…

This study tests a new device called the Globe Pulsed Field System to treat people with atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm problem. The device uses electrical pulses to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the irregular rhythm. About 549 participants will be f…

This pilot study was designed to test a new, more targeted way to perform ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Instead of burning a wide area around the pulmonary veins, doctors would use special mapping technology to precisely target the heart muscle sleeves causing the abno…

This study looks at whether using a CPAP machine at night can reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) returning in people who have both sleep apnea and a history of AF. Researchers will follow 91 adults for 12 months, tracking how often they use CPAP and…

This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields instead of heat to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm problem. About 35 adults with short-lasting AFib will receive the procedure. The goal is to see if the balloon safely and effectivel…

This study tracks 344 adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who are having their first catheter ablation procedure using a specific device. The goal is to see how well the procedure works and how safe it is in everyday medical practice. Resear…
