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

Real-world Experience of Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Symptomatic ParoxysmaL and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Using Novel CARTO Technologies: REAL AF Registry

Sponsor

Heart Rhythm Clinical and Research Solutions, LLC

Enrollment

15,000 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2018

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Summary

The primary purpose of this registry is to obtain real-world clinical experience of Paroxysmal (PAF) and Persistent (PsAF) Atrial Fibrillation ablation radiofrequency (RF) technologies. Data from the registry will be used to assess clinical outcomes, including procedural efficiency, safety, and long-term, effectiveness of catheter ablation with novel RF technologies in PAF and PsAF patients.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This registry study tracks real-world outcomes in patients who have catheter ablation — a procedure that uses heat or cold energy to correct abnormal heart rhythms (atrial fibrillation, or AF). It is not testing a new drug, but collecting data to understand how well ablation works in everyday practice. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have symptomatic atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal — episodes that stop within 7 days — or persistent — lasting more than 7 days) - Your doctor has recommended catheter ablation as a treatment - This is your first ablation procedure (or your first in this registry) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are enrolled in another drug or device clinical trial - You have had atrial fibrillation continuously for more than one year (long-standing persistent AF) - Your doctor believes ablation is not appropriate for you for any reason Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
