Smart software aims to make heart ablation more precise
NCT ID NCT07275151
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new software module that analyzes heart signals during a procedure called pulsed field ablation, used to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if the software can accurately tell doctors when the targeted heart veins are fully isolated. One hundred adults having their first ablation will be enrolled, and the software's results will be compared to the doctor's standard assessment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more reliable way to confirm that heart tissue has been effectively treated during ablation, potentially improving outcomes for atrial fibrillation patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, observational study focused on testing software, not a new treatment. It may not lead to any change in clinical practice or patient outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Eligible subjects will meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Subjects undergoing first time pulmonary vein isolation indicated by investigator for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. 2. Male or non-pregnant female aged ≥21 years. 3. Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation related procedure. 4. Subjects in sinus rhythm at the time of the PFA application. Exclusion Criteria: Eligible subjects will not meet any of the following exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant or nursing subjects. 2. Current participation in another investigational drug or device study that interferes with this study. 3. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not candidates for this study. 4. Patients who have had a prior ablation procedure. 5. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject'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. 6. Life expectancy is less than 12 months, in the opinion of the investigator. 7. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are considered part of any vulnerable population. 8. Subjects unlikely to be in sinus rhythm at the time of the procedure or unlikely to remain in sinus rhythm after cardioversion
