Volunteers to Investigate Best Results for Ablation and Novel Therapies for Atrial Fibrillation
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
VIBRANT-AF seeks to: * Identify clinically relevant predictors of effectiveness and complications of AF ablation procedures in a prospective, US-based, multi-center, real-world longitudinal study * Assess changes in modifiable lifestyle-related exposures influence the effectiveness of AF ablation * Determine incidence and predictors of complications of AF ablation procedures Participants will connect with the Eureka Research Platform and answer a series of surveys and activities over a one-year period. They will be asked about lifestyle habits, recurrence of AFib, hospitalizations, and general feelings and emotions.
Description
Catheter ablation for Atrial Fibrillation is the most commonly performed cardiac electrophysiology procedure. Although now standard of care in professional society guidelines, recommendations favoring the procedure are predominately based on randomized trials or single-center experiences from high-volume institutions staffed by expert operators. Participants enrolled in those randomized trials are healthier than those undergoing the procedure in the "real world," and the actual experiences of patients throughout the US are not represented by those referred to tertiary-referral centers that mos…
