BodyGuardian Monitoring for Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation
Official title: BOdygUardian MOnitoriNg for ReCurrencE of AF (BOUNCE-AF)
Run by Heart Rhythm Clinical and Research Solutions, LLC · NCT07671677 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests wearing the BodyGuardian monitor after AF ablation to see if it helps track and understand recurrence in patients who had the FARAPULSE PFA system.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with atrial fibrillation who are eligible for and consent to DISRUPT-AF participation and are willing to wear the BodyGuardian device and complete related surveys.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who decline participation, do not consent to the sub-study, or cannot wear the monitor may not receive benefit from this monitoring approach.

What this trial studies
The DISRUPT-AF Registry is an observational, prospective, multi-center effort to gather real-world experience with the BodyGuardian wearable in patients treated with pulsated field ablation for AF. This sub-study, BOUNCE-AF, enrolls patients from the existing DISRUPT AF Registry and, for eligible participants, surveys them about their experience while wearing the device at 6 months after ablation. Clinical staff involved in prescribing, deploying, or training on the monitor may also complete a separate survey. Follow-up monitoring aligns with each site’s standard of care, typically at 6 and 12 months post-ablation. The trial collects interpretive data on device usability, patient experience, and potential impacts on post-procedural monitoring workflows.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could validate BodyGuardian as a practical tool for post-ablation monitoring and patient experience insights in AF care.
How similar studies have gone: Prior real-world registries have explored wearable monitoring in AF care, with mixed but informative results guiding device usability and workflow integration.
