ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF)

This study is comparing two ways to perform a catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib). One method uses advanced 3D mapping and ultrasound instead of X-ray radiation to guide the doctor. The goal is to see if this new, radiation-free method is just as safe and e…

This study is testing a small implant called the Amulet 2 device, which is placed in the heart to seal off an area where blood clots often form in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to prevent strokes in patients who are at high risk but cannot take long-term blo…

This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new medical device system for treating a specific type of irregular heartbeat called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib). The system uses a special catheter and generator to deliver pulsed electrical energy (ablation) to h…

This study is testing whether a new blood thinner called abelacimab causes fewer bleeding problems than the standard medication rivaroxaban in people with atrial fibrillation. It involved 1,287 patients aged 55+ who need long-term blood thinners to prevent strokes. The main goal …

This study looks back at 300 patients who had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). It compares two different ways doctors give a blood-thinning medicine (heparin) during the procedure. The goal is to see which method keeps the patient's blood at the …

This study is testing whether personalized education from specially trained pharmacists helps people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) take their blood-thinning medications more consistently. Researchers will compare 400 patients who receive this pharmacist suppor…

This study is testing whether smartphone apps and accessories can accurately detect atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heart rhythm. Researchers are enrolling 209 adults with and without AF to record their heart sounds, electrical activity, and blood flow using phone cameras,…

This study aims to test if a new type of MRI contrast dye called Gadopiclenol can create clearer pictures of scar tissue in the hearts of people with atrial fibrillation. Researchers will compare images from this new dye to those from standard dyes in 50 participants. The goal is…

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can use simple, at-home heart tests to find people who are more likely to have an undiagnosed irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers will mail a small heart monitor to 200 participants to…

This study is testing whether offering monthly heart rhythm checks (ECGs) at local family health centers can help find undiagnosed atrial fibrillation in adults aged 65 and older in Ordu, Turkey. Participants will receive 12 monthly check-ups. If a new irregular heart rhythm is f…

This study is testing a training program to teach family doctors how to use a focused heart ultrasound. The goal is to see if these trained doctors can accurately spot common heart issues during regular check-ups, which could help patients get diagnosed faster without waiting mon…

This study compares two standard methods for closing the small hole in the leg vein after a catheter procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers want to see if using a special adhesive disc (StatSeal) helps patients get up and walk sooner and go home faster than the tradi…

This study aims to understand how well adults aged 65 and older with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in Turkey take their prescribed blood thinners. Researchers will check if the doses match official guidelines and if patients take their medication regularly. They wi…

This study aims to find the best ways for doctors to perform a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). It will observe 524 patients undergoing this standard treatment to see which specific steps and techniques lead to the best safety and long-term r…

This study aims to develop a better method for guiding atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, a procedure that uses heat to correct irregular heartbeats. Researchers will analyze existing electrical heart maps from 336 patients who had the procedure, comparing those who stayed AF-fre…

This study was planned to learn more about a rare side effect of a heart treatment for atrial fibrillation. The treatment, called pulsed field ablation (PFA), can rarely injure a nerve that controls the diaphragm, a key breathing muscle. The study would have used simple chest X-r…
