NCT ID NCT05635864

Summary

This study looked at whether a common heart procedure called catheter ablation changes a patient's risk scores for stroke and bleeding. Researchers followed 167 adults with irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation or flutter) who were getting this procedure for the first time. They tracked patients' heart rhythms and collected blood samples for a year to see if the procedure lowered their calculated risk.
