First-time Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Registry

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions globally, with projections indicating a doubling of cases by 2050. AF is linked to heightened cardiovascular risks like stroke and increased healthcare costs. Ablation, targeting the arrhythmia substrate, is a method to manage AF, yet recurrence rates remain high (20-45% in the first year). Studies highlight the impact of comorbidities, AF characteristics, ablation techniques, and myocardial remodeling markers on AF progression and ablation efficacy. However, there's no definitive guidance on selecting these factors for predicting treatment success. The aim of this study is to investigate predictors of successful AF ablation in the following areas: (a) clinical factors, (b) electrophysiological, (c) electrocardiographic, (d) ultrasound, (e) cardiac anatomy, (f) biomarkers.
