Could your sex change how well heart ablation works?
NCT ID NCT07159685
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 700 people having their first heart ablation for atrial fibrillation to see if men and women have different heart structures and outcomes. Researchers will compare anatomy, procedure details, and how well the treatment works after 12 months. The goal is to understand if sex-based differences should guide personalized ablation strategies.
