简要总结

The purpose of this study is to determine whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs in the early stages of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In all the patients a subcutaneous loop recorder will be implanted.

入选标准

  • Age between 18 and 65
  • At least three episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation documented on an electrocardiogram or event recording during the last three years
  • Never taken antiarrhythmic drugs or at most a pill in the pocket approach
  • Willingness, ability and commitment to participate in baseline and follow-up evaluations

排除标准

  • Paroxysmal AF for more than three years
  • An episode of atrial fibrillation that lasted more than seven days within the past six months
  • Persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation
  • Atrial fibrillation from reversible cause (i.e. surgery, hyperthyroidism, pericarditis)
  • Documented atrial flutter
  • Structural heart disease of clinical significance including:
  • Cardiac surgery within six months of screening
  • Unstable symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF) including NYHA Class III or IV CHF at screening and/or ejection fraction <30% as measured by echocardiography or catheterization
  • Unstable angina
  • Myocardial infarction within six months of screening
  • Surgically corrected atrial septal defect with a patch or closure device
  • LA size > 40mm
  • Any prior ablation of the pulmonary veins
  • Enrollment in any other ongoing protocol
  • Untreatable allergy to contrast media
  • Pregnancy
  • Any contraindication to cardiac catheterization
  • Prosthetic mitral heart valve
  • Poor general health that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will not allow the patient to be a good study candidate (i.e. other disease processes, mental capacity, etc.)
  • Contraindication to coumadin or heparin
  • History of pulmonary embolus or stroke within one year of screening
  • Acute pulmonary edema
  • Atrial clot on TEE regardless of the patient's anticoagulation medication status

结局指标

主要结局

any recurrence of symptomatic AF or asymptomatic AF and atrial flutter/tachycardia in the absence of AAD therapy during a follow-up period of 6 months

时间窗: 6 months

次要结局

  • any recurrence of symptomatic AF or asymptomatic AF and atrial flutter/tachycardia in the absence of AAD therapy after the initial six months follow-up(3 years)
  • comparison of the subjective findings of recurrence of AF by the patient through QoL and symptom questionnaires(3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months)
  • number of track complications, both acute (during the procedure) and chronic throughout the trial(3 years)
  • hospitalization rate during a two and a half year follow-up following the initial six months follow-up(3 years)
