Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding an extra step to a standard heart procedure can help prevent your irregular heartbeat from coming back. In the standard procedure, doctors use a catheter (a thin tube) to treat the main source of the problem. This study will compare whether also removing scar tissue in the heart chamber improves your results over one year.
Some people with persistent irregular heartbeat continue to have symptoms even after the standard treatment. Doctors think that removing scar tissue in addition to the standard procedure might help prevent the irregular heartbeat from returning, but they need to test whether this extra step actually makes a difference.

You will undergo a catheter ablation procedure where doctors will randomly assign you to receive either the standard treatment alone or the standard treatment plus removal of scar tissue. After your procedure, you will return for follow-up visits over one year to check whether your irregular heartbeat has returned and to assess how you're feeling. The study will track your symptoms and quality of life throughout this period.
