NCT ID NCT07521293
First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at why some people with a type of heart failure (HFpEF) develop an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers measured fluid pressure in the heart and used a noninvasive eye scan to estimate pressure inside the skull. They found that higher fluid pressures in the heart and brain were linked to a greater chance of having AF, suggesting a connection between the heart and brain in this condition. The study involved 309 adults and did not test any new treatments.
