Heart study probes hidden risks in genetic AF patients

NCT ID NCT06647459

First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with a genetic form of early-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) may also be at risk for a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT). Researchers will use special heart mapping techniques during a standard AF ablation procedure to look for hidden electrical problems in the heart's lower chambers. The study involves 200 adults with AF diagnosed before age 60, including those with a specific genetic variant and those without, to compare findings and improve future risk assessment.
