New decision aid helps AF patients choose ablation with less regret
NCT ID NCT04993807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether showing patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) simple visual charts of common post-ablation symptoms could help them decide more confidently about undergoing the procedure. 75 adults with symptomatic AF who were considering catheter ablation used these decision aids during their doctor visits. The goal was to see if patients felt less conflicted, less regretful, and more satisfied with their choice.
