NCT ID NCT07403760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a procedure called catheter ablation can improve quality of life for people aged 80 and older who have a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. Half of the 182 participants will get the real procedure, and half will get a fake one (sham) to see if the real one truly helps. The main goal is to see if the procedure leads to better daily wellbeing after 6 months.
