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.
Atrial fibrillation is a condition where your heart beats irregularly. Doctors treat it with a procedure called catheter ablation. This trial is testing whether taking a special CT scan of your heart's blood vessels before the ablation procedure—and using those results to guide additional treatment—helps prevent the irregular heartbeat from coming back.
Patients with atrial fibrillation often have narrowed heart arteries that can cause other heart problems. By checking your coronary arteries before ablation, doctors may be able to catch and treat these issues earlier, leading to better outcomes and fewer complications.

All participants will receive a detailed heart CT scan before their ablation procedure. Half of the participants will have those scan results analyzed and may receive additional heart medications or further testing based on the findings; the other half will follow standard care. After ablation, you will have a small monitor implanted under your skin to track your heart rhythm continuously for at least one year, with follow-up visits to check your progress.
