Companion AI for Atrial Fibrillation
(COMPANION AI Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to observe real-world outcomes for patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures using special AI mapping systems, VX1 or AF-Explorer. The research focuses on how these systems might enhance the procedure's success and patient recovery. It is ideal for individuals who have had or are scheduled for an AF ablation, a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats, and are open to sharing their experiences. Participants must consent to the study and should not have AF due to a reversible cause. As a Phase 4 trial, this research involves an FDA-approved treatment, providing insights into its benefits for a broader patient population.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the use of a Companion AI during AF ablation because it adds a cutting-edge layer of precision and personalization to the procedure. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on the clinician's expertise and standard imaging techniques, this AI can analyze real-time data to provide insights that may enhance decision-making during the ablation. This could potentially lead to improved outcomes and reduced complications by tailoring the treatment more closely to each patient's unique cardiac patterns. By integrating advanced technology into the procedure, the AI aims to elevate the effectiveness of AF ablation, making it a promising advancement in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
