No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. There is a large variation in symptoms; from almost none to severe but the reason for this is unclear.

The investigators aim to find correlations between symptom burden and intracardiac pressure, biomarkers and findings with echocardiography in order to find alternative means of treatment.

It is even intended to study the neurohormonal activation directly after the atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation in patients eligible for AF radiofrequency ablation.
