Research

Mayo Clinic researchers study ways to improve care for people living with irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias.

Mayo Clinic experts have contributed to the understanding of arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment in important ways:

  • Led a multicenter, multinational trial to compare medicine with cardiac ablation for people with irregular heartbeats.
  • Reported on the heart conditions that increase the risk of sudden death from AV node ablation in some people with AFib.
  • Designed new types of balloon devices to deliver cryoablation during catheter treatment for AFib.
  • Improved understanding of the genetics of heart arrhythmias.
  • Demonstrated how using catheters and sound waves, a technology called intracardiac ultrasound, during atrial fibrillation ablation lowers the risk of return hospital stays.

This emphasis on research and innovation increases the treatment choices available to you at Mayo Clinic. You also may have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials. Learn more about the Heart Rhythm Disease Program and the Cardiovascular Research Center at Mayo Clinic.
