Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major health problem, with a prevalence of 0.4-1% of the population. It results in high healthcare costs and significant morbidity, especially for patients with severe symptoms. The RASTA-AF randomized control trial (RCT) is designed to answer the following question: does vigorous treatment of AF with aggressive risk factor management plus catheter ablation reduce AF-related outcomes as compared to catheter ablation plus usual care in patients with symptomatic AF and risk factors that promote AF. This study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study that will enrol patients who decline participation in the RASTA-AF RCT but agree to be followed in a registry. The objective of RASTA-Cohort is to determine whether patients who decline participation in the RASTA-AF RCT have different clinical characteristics and quality of life than patients who accept participation in the study, and whether they suffer from worse AF-related outcomes than patients in the RCT.

Number of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) related hospitalizations
Defined as any hospitalization (greater than 24 hours) from 2 months post ablation to end of follow up due to: atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, heart failure, syncope or bradycardia requiring pacing.
Up to 60 months
Number of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) related ED visits
Defined as any presentation to the emergency department (less than 24 hours) due to: atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, heart failure, syncope or bradycardia requiring pacing.
Up to 60 months
Number of patients with clinically significant atrial fibrillation post ablation
Clinically significant AF events lasting greater or equal to 24 hours within 26 hours (either an irregular R-R interval or atrial cycle length less than 280 ms, as obtained from an insertable cardiac monitor) from 2 months post ablation to end of follow-up.

Patients who meet the inclusion criteria for RASTA-AF, and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria but decline or are not approached for participation in the RCT will be asked to participate.
Patients with persistent or paroxysmal AF requiring catheter ablation and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for RASTA-AF, but decline or are not approached for participation in the Randomized Clinical Trial will be asked to participate in RASTA Cohort.
