Heart rhythm showdown: ablation vs. shock therapy for AF
NCT ID NCT06096246
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. One group gets catheter ablation (a procedure to destroy tiny areas causing the irregular rhythm), the other gets a controlled electric shock (cardioversion) to reset the heart. Researchers will track which group has fewer AF recurrences over time using a small heart monitor. The trial enrolls 208 adults aged 18-85 with persistent AF lasting less than 2 years.
