Heart rhythm study seeks to predict ablation success
NCT ID NCT05366530
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal was to find better ways to predict which patients would benefit from a procedure called ablation, which creates scar tissue in the heart to stop abnormal rhythms. Researchers planned to use advanced heart mapping, blood tests, and MRI scans to develop a prediction tool. The study was terminated early with only one participant enrolled.
