Real-world Experience of Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Exploring catheter ablation for treating atrial fibrillation in real-life settings.

Phase N/A

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is when your heart beats irregularly. There are two types: Paroxysmal (PAF), which stops on its own in less than a week, and Persistent (PsAF), lasting over a week. This study looks at how well a treatment called Catheter Ablation works. In this procedure, doctors use something called Radiofrequency (RF) to stop the heart from beating irregularly. The study will track patients at different times: before the procedure, during it, and then again at 10-12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after it. They want to see if the treatment works well and is safe. You can join if you're 18 or older, have PAF or PsAF, and can attend all the check-ups. You can't join if you're in another trial or have had AF for over a year.

  • Duration: Follow-ups occur over a year.
  • Visits: Five check-ups, including before and after the procedure.
  • Eligibility: Must be 18+, and have PAF or PsAF.
