  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a condition where the heart beats irregularly and sometimes too fast. This study looks at real-world use of catheter ablation technologies to treat two types of AF: Paroxysmal AF (PAF), which stops on its own in less than 7 days, and Persistent AF (PsAF), which lasts more than 7 days. The study aims to see how safe and effective these treatments are over time. Ablation is a procedure where doctors use heat to destroy small areas of heart tissue that cause the irregular heartbeat. This study will track patients before the procedure, during the procedure, and several times after, up to one year.

  • Study visits occur pre-ablation, during the procedure, at 10-12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year post-procedure.
  • Participants must be 18 or older and not in another clinical trial.
  • Participants will have regular heart monitoring and doctor visits.
To join, you must have symptoms of PAF or PsAF and be ready to attend all follow-up visits. If you have had AF for more than a year or are already in another trial, you cannot participate.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
