Heart rhythm fix may also repair leaky valve: scientists build prediction model
NCT ID NCT07096219
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and moderate-to-severe functional mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). Researchers want to see if a procedure called catheter ablation—which zaps abnormal heart tissue to restore normal rhythm—can improve the valve leakage. They will also build and test a model to predict which patients are most likely to benefit. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment decisions for this common heart condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
catheter ablation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with atrial fibrillation and mitral regurgitation will benefit most from catheter ablation, enabling more personalized treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictive model may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and individual results can vary.
