Study Arms (2)

Pulsed Field Ablation - General Anaesthesia

Patients undergoing pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation under general anaesthetic.

Procedure: Catheter ablation

Pulsed Field Ablation - Mild Conscious Sedation

Patients undergoing pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation under mild conscious sedation.

Procedure: Catheter ablation

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients who have been referred clinically for ablation of atrial fibrillation, and will be undergoing this procedure using pulsed field ablation. Patients will not be randomised in this feasibility study - the decision to perform the procedure under mild conscious sedation will be made between the consultant and the patient.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients clinically referred for and undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using pulsed field ablation

You may not qualify if:

  • Inability to provide informed consent
