The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial is to investigate whether coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography prior to catheter ablation and derived treatment (medical anti-ischemic and multimodality treatment and/or mechanical revascularization) can improve clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation.Read full original descriptionShow less
Coronary Computed Tomography AngioGraphy Prior to Catheter Ablation in Patients With Atrial FIBrillation
The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial is to investigate whether coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography prior to catheter ablation and derived treatment (medical anti-ischemic and multimodality treatment and/or mechanical revascularization) can improve clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation.
A sub-study will investigate the effect of different ablation strategies on clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation.
Inclusion: Age over 18 years; Referral for catheter ablation treatment (excluding AV-junction ablation) for atrial fibrillation (both paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation) at the Department of Cardiology at Gentofte Hospital. Both first ablation and re-ablation treatments are included; The ability and willingness to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion: Ongoing treatment with statins; Recent coronary CT angiography including CAC-score without positive findings <3 years prior to screening; Known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD); Contraindications for coronary CT angiography, e.g. contrast allergy; Any surgical or medical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, may place the patient at higher risk from his/her participation in the study, or is likely to prevent the patient from complying with the requirements of the study or completing the study.
