Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Vs Anti-Arrhythmic Drug (AAD) Therapy As a First Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Comparing PFA and medication for treating persistent atrial fibrillation.

18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is comparing two treatments for a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (AF), which is when the heart beats irregularly. One treatment uses a special machine, called Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), to help fix the heart's rhythm. The other uses medication known as Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs (AAD) to do the same. Participants will be randomly assigned to either treatment group to help researchers understand which is safer and more effective.

  • Length of Study: Participants will be involved in the study for a certain period, which will include monitoring and follow-ups.
  • Visits Needed: Participants will need to visit the clinical center for testing and treatment as part of the study.
  • Compensation: There may be compensation for participating, but details will be provided when joining the study.

Participants need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed case of atrial fibrillation. Certain health conditions may exclude individuals from participating. It's important to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine if participating is a good fit.

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.
