Evaluating outcomes after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
Official title: PROSPective Evaluation of Outcome After CatheTer Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation : LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION.
Run by University Hospital, Lille · NCT05009797 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find out what factors might cause atrial fibrillation to come back after treatment with catheter ablation in patients, while also looking at the risk of serious heart problems and bleeding.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients scheduled to undergo catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation who can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are children, under guardianship, unable to give consent, or pregnant will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence within three years following catheter ablation in a cohort of 750 patients. It will analyze clinical variables and innovative biomarkers to understand the factors contributing to AF recurrence. Additionally, the study will assess the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular outcomes and major bleeding events in the same timeframe. By focusing on these outcomes, the research seeks to improve patient management and treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved strategies for preventing atrial fibrillation recurrence and enhancing patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar approaches in understanding atrial fibrillation recurrence, but this specific study focuses on innovative biomarkers, making it a novel contribution.
