ER heart fix: can ablation right away stop AFib better?

NCT ID NCT05294445

First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with recent-onset atrial fibrillation (AFib) who get a heart ablation procedure right from the emergency room have fewer heart rhythm problems over the next year compared to those who get standard treatment. About 350 adults with AFib that started within the past year will be randomly assigned to either immediate ablation or usual care. The goal is to see if early ablation reduces the chance of AFib coming back.
