Cryoballoon/Radiofrequency/Pulsed Field Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Versus Medical Treatment for Heart
This study is looking at the best way to treat an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AF) if you also have heart failure. Doctors want to see if a procedure called catheter ablation works better than just medicines to reduce hospital stays and improve life quality.

FARAPULSE Workflow Assessment Registry
This study looks at how clinics use a new treatment called Pulsed Field Ablation (using the FARAPULSE system) for an irregular heartbeat called Atrial Fibrillation. It aims to find the best ways to use this treatment and improve patient care.

Mechanisms of Myocardial Injury and Ischemia in Patients With Rapid Atrial Fibrillation
This study looks at people with a very fast and irregular heartbeat (called atrial fibrillation). We want to understand if heart damage in these patients is linked to blocked heart arteries, and if signs of not enough oxygen to the heart are linked to heart attacks seen on scans.

Mechanisms of Atrial Pathoelectrophysiology in HCM
This study looks into why an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) is common and hard to treat in people with a thickened heart muscle condition (HCM). Researchers will use heart scans and electrical tests to understand it better, hoping to find improved future treatments.

Monotherapy With P2Y12 Inhibitors in Patients With Atrial fIbrillation Undergoing Supraflex Stent Implantation
This study compares different ways to give blood-thinning medicines to people who have an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and have had a heart stent fitted. It looks at whether using fewer medicines a bit sooner can be safer while still protecting the heart.

Study to evaLuate the effIcacy and Safety of abeLacimab in High-risk Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Who Have Been Deemed Unsuitable for Oral antiCoagulation (LILAC-TIMI 76)
This study looks at a new medicine, abelacimab, for people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) who can't take usual blood thinners. It compares abelacimab to a dummy medicine to see if it can prevent strokes.

Substrate Remodelling and Targeted Ablation in AF
This study at St Bartholomew's Hospital explores how detailed heart maps can improve a procedure called catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers hope to make this common heart condition treatment more effective for patients, reducing the need for repeat procedures and improving quality of life.

Microvisk Continuous Blood Donation Study
This study is helping to develop new blood test strips for people taking warfarin. These strips aim to make regular checks on your blood clotting easier and more accurate. Your blood samples will help improve these new tests.

Advancing Knowledge in Ischemic Stroke Patients on Oral Anticoagulants
This study looks at people who have a stroke while taking blood thinners for an irregular heartbeat. It aims to understand why this happens and what treatments work best afterwards to prevent another stroke. Researchers will collect information from medical records and follow some patients over time.

Unrecognised Comorbidity Detection in Hospitalised Patients
This study aims to find hidden long-term conditions like diabetes and heart problems in hospital patients. By using routine hospital information, researchers hope to build a digital tool to identify patients who might benefit from earlier diagnosis and treatment, improving their health outcomes.

Precision Detection and Prediction of Atrial Arrhythmias Using Artificial Intelligence and Consumer Wearable Devices
This study is looking into using smartwatches and other wearable devices, along with artificial intelligence (AI), to improve how we find and predict atrial fibrillation (AF) – a common heart rhythm problem. The aim is to make detection easier, less invasive, and more continuous than current methods.

Responding to AF: Pill-in-Pocket Anticoagulation Guided by Automated Monitoring and Alerts
This study looks into a new way to treat Atrial Fibrillation (AF), a common irregular heartbeat. Instead of daily blood thinners, patients might take a "pill-in-pocket" dose only when their heart flutters, guided by a special monitor and phone alerts.

StatSeal vs Figure-of-Eight Suture for Vascular Closure in AF Ablation
This study compares two ways to close blood vessels after a heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). It looks at whether a special disc (StatSeal) helps patients walk sooner than a traditional stitch (figure-of-eight suture) and if it's safer and more comfortable.

Novel Technologies to Improve Echocardiographic Estimates of Left Ventricular Filling Pressure in Heart Failure Combined With Atrial Fibrillation
This study is testing new ultrasound methods to better understand heart failure in people with atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve how doctors measure pressure in the heart, leading to better diagnosis and treatment, and help predict who might be at higher risk.

Understanding the Increased Risk of Atrial Fibrillation in Athletes: a Case-control Study
This study looks into why athletes might have a higher risk of an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. Researchers will compare athletes with and without this condition to understand how heart changes and genetics could play a role.

AIC Genotyping Study
This study looks at how certain gene changes might make some people with an irregular heartbeat (Atrial Fibrillation or AF) more likely to develop a weakened heart muscle (heart failure). We're comparing genes in different groups of people to understand this better.
