The BEAT AF study aims to make a difference in the management of atrial fibrillation. It involves 9 European clinical centres to prove that the pulse field ablation method, is more effective and safer than radiofrequency, the reference treatment to date. It will also reduce recurrences, which are still frequent. For more information.

The aim of this ERC project is to improve knowledge in the characterisation of cardiac rhythm disorders and create new diagnostic and treatment tools by developing a non-invasive modality (electro-structural tomography), combining magnetic resonance and non-invasive cardiac mapping.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council under the 'Horizon 2020' programme: EU Research and Innovation Programme 2014-2020: ERC-2016-STG, (Research Agreement n° 715093).

The start-up inHeart has developed a system that creates 3D images of the anatomy and origins of arrhythmias in detail. This system helps cardiologists to control their catheter in real time. The aim of the project is to conduct a clinical trial to demonstrate a gain in efficiency, and also a gain from an economic point of view.
