Atrial Fibrillation study: Pulmonary Vein Isolation
Official title Artificial Intelligence Mapping and Ablation of Non-Pulmonary Vein Electrical Drivers of AF Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06935591
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether adding the vMap mapping system to the usual ablation improves treatment for atrial fibrillation.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are an adult with atrial fibrillation and can undergo an ablation procedure.
- What's involved
- You will be randomly chosen to receive either the standard ablation alone or the standard ablation plus the new mapping system. The procedure is done in a hospital and you will stay for the ablation and any needed follow‑up visits.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until the ablation procedure and any scheduled follow‑up visits, usually a few weeks after the procedure.
Which group you join is decided by chance.
