NCT ID NCT07454135

First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looks at why atrial fibrillation (AFib) happens more often and is harder to treat in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition where the heart muscle is thicker than normal. Researchers will study electrical signals in the heart and use advanced imaging in 40 adults with both conditions who are already scheduled for AFib treatment. The goal is to better understand the problem and help design better treatments in the future.
