Heart mapping may predict best AF therapy

NCT ID NCT05366361

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Stanford study looks at 200 people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who are scheduled for ablation or Maze surgery. Researchers will map the heart's electrical activity to see if the size of organized areas predicts whether the procedure works. The goal is to better understand AF and guide personalized treatment choices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors choose the right treatment for each atrial fibrillation patient, improving success rates for ablation or surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results might not apply to all AF patients.
