Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →This trial is studying how to predict which patients will benefit most from different heart rhythm treatments for atrial fibrillation — a condition where your heart's upper chambers beat irregularly. Researchers will use special heart scans and recordings to map out patterns in your heart's electrical activity before you undergo your scheduled procedure, then track whether treatment works well for you.
Right now, doctors can't always predict ahead of time which patients will have success with different heart rhythm treatments. By understanding your heart's unique electrical patterns before treatment, doctors hope to personalize your care and choose the approach most likely to work for you — avoiding unnecessary procedures and improving your chances of success.

If you join this study, you will have heart scans and electrical recordings taken before your scheduled procedure — some using non-invasive imaging rather than invasive catheters. Researchers will then follow your progress after your treatment to see whether the patterns they found predicted how well the procedure worked for you. The study enrolls about 200 patients total and involves patients undergoing two types of procedures: ablation or Maze surgery.
