First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study explores whether advanced ECG mapping and enhanced MRI/PET scans can identify the exact areas causing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and guide a more targeted catheter ablation. Researchers aim to see if this personalized approach leads to higher success in restoring normal heart rhythm. The study involves 52 adults with persistent AF who have not had prior ablation.
