NCT01510197

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the risk profile in patients with atrial fibrillation, which represents the degree of changes (remodeling) in the atrial tissue and which can help to predict in which patients rhythm control will be successful. This risk profile will consist of a combination of underlying (heart) disease and risk factors, as measured with use of parameters obtained with echocardiography, circulating biomarkers and other relevant clinical data. Ultimately this risk profile can be used to guide type of (rhythm) control therapy in individual patients with atrial fibrillation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • assess the risk profile associated with success of rhythm control therapy at follow-up.

    1\) \< 1 second AF on end-of-study ECG; (2) \< 30 seconds AF on end-of-study 48-hour Holter recording

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Time to recurrence of (a)symptomatic AF;

    1+12+60 months

  • Failure of rhythm control, i.e. permanent AF;

    1+12+60 months

  • Risk profiles associated with early versus late AF recurrence;

    1+12+60 months

  • Progression of paroxysmal AF to persistent or permanent AF and of persistent AF to permanent AF

    1+12+60 months

  • Changes in atrial and ventricular echocardiographic parameters

    1+12+60 month

  • +5 more secondary outcomes
