NCT ID NCT04041778
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at 17 adults with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting heart rhythm problem) to find specific areas in the heart that may keep the condition going. Researchers used special mapping to identify stable high-frequency electrical signals. The goal was to understand why current treatments don't work as well for persistent AF, which could lead to better, more targeted procedures in the future.
