New heart procedure may better preserve heart function in AFib patients
NCT ID NCT06557876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of catheter ablation for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see if a newer method called pulse field ablation preserves heart muscle function better than the standard cryoablation. Eighty adults will undergo MRI scans and complete quality-of-life questionnaires over 4 months.
