New heart procedure could improve treatment for persistent AF

NCT ID NCT07187115

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study compares two heart procedures for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition where the heart beats irregularly. Both procedures use pulsed field ablation to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the problem. One group gets standard treatment plus ablation of the back wall of the heart's left atrium, while the other gets standard treatment plus ablation of extra sources identified by a special mapping system. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective at restoring normal heart rhythm. About 699 adults with symptomatic AF that hasn't improved with medication will participate.
