- Investigation of Cardioversion Versus Therapeutic Ablation for Persistent AF (ORBICA-AF) — Recruiting • Non-phase study • Cardiology / Cardiovascular • NCT06096246.
- What is being tested: Catheter ablation with pulmonary vein isolation compared to DC cardioversion alone in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, measuring AF recurrence rates as the primary outcome.
- Patient eligibility overview: Adults with persistent atrial fibrillation (typically those who have failed or are unsuitable for antiarrhythmic drug therapy) who require rhythm control intervention are eligible for randomisation to either ablation or cardioversion treatment strategies.

The main aim of the research is to investigate whether patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) will have lower rates of AF recurrence than those treated by DC cardioversion without an ablation procedure.
- : * Ability to give informed consent * Age 18-85 years * Persistent AF (atrial fibrillation lasting > 7days) of total continuous duration 40 * Patients in Persistent AF who have had more than one previous cardioversion. * Established diagnosis of Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
