Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the atrial fibrillation burden reduction, or absolute atrial fibrillation burden, associated with improvement in quality of life in patients undergoing ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
AF burden correlated with change in QOL.

12 months, 24 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Freedom of atrial arrhythmia
12 months, 24 months
Economic evaluation
12 months, 24 months
Incidence of silent AF recurrences
12 months, 24 months
Impact of antiarrhythmic treatment
12 months
Interventions
Patients will undergo insertion of a LINQ ILR before the atrial fibrillation ablation performed according to standard clinical practice.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation and an AF burden of equal or more than 80%, referred for an atrial fibrillation catheter ablation.
You may qualify if:
- Age \> 18 years
- Patients undergoing first-time or redo AF ablation.
- Persistent or long-standing persistent AF
- Symptomatic atrial fibrillation
- Willing and able to provide informed consent.
- Willing and able to set up and utilize MyCareLink® home monitor and be remotely monitored
- Atrial fibrillation burden equal or more than 80% prior to the ablation
You may not qualify if:
- Paroxysmal AF
- If the patient has had a cardioversion within 2 months of the ablation
- Patients with contraindication to oral or intravenous anticoagulation.
- Contraindication to implantation of an ILR
