New algorithm tested to improve heart ablation for AFib
NCT ID NCT05458648
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new computer algorithm that analyzes heart signals during a procedure called ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The goal was to see if the system could collect and process these signals to help doctors better understand where to treat. 37 adults scheduled for ablation participated. The study did not test a new treatment, but rather a new way to visualize heart data.

Inclusion Criteria: Eligible patients will meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Patients scheduled for RF ablation indicated by the investigator for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation. 2. Male or female ≥ 21 years of age. 3. Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation related procedure. Exclusion Criteria: Eligible patients will not meet any of the following exclusion criteria: 1. Current participation in another investigational drug or device study that interferes with this study. 2. Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not candidates for this study. 3. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the patient's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results. 4. Life expectancy less than 12 month, in the opinion of the Investigator. 5. Patients who are considered part of any vulnerable population. 6. Patient is a prisoner.
