First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether advanced ECG mapping, MRI, and PET scans can better identify the heart tissue causing persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers will use these images to guide a personalized catheter ablation procedure in 52 adults with persistent AFib. The goal is to see if this tailored approach leads to higher success rates in restoring normal heart rhythm.
