Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\.Age: 30\-70 years.
  • 2\.Patients with symptoms related to AF, who have failed or been intolerant to at least one drug used for either rate or rhythm control (Vaughan Williams class I, II, or III anti\-arrhythmic drug) thus excluding digitalis and Ca channel inhibitors.
  • 3\.The first diagnosis of AF must have been first noted more than 6 months prior to consideration.
  • 4\.At least one AF episode documented on 12\-lead ECG or 2\-channel telemetry/Holter recording during the previous 12 months.
  • 5\.Paroxysmal AF with occurrence of at least one symptomatic episodes (patient history) in the previous 2 months that merits non\-pharmacological intervention (see classification), or
  • 6\.Persistent AF with occurrence of at least 2 symptomatic episodes of AF in the previous 12 months, necessitating pharmacological or electrical cardioversions (CV), on or off antiarrhythmic drugs that merits non\-pharmacological intervention. Upon cardioversion, it must be documented that sinus rhythm can be maintained for at least 1 hour, to distinguish from permanent AF.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1\.2 Adults (18\-64 years) yes
  • F.1\.2\.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\.Patients who have tested 2 or more anti\-arrhythmic drugs for rhythm control at highest tolerable dosages (Vaughan Williams class I or III anti\-arrhythmic drug.
  • 2\.AF secondary to a transient or correctable abnormality .
  • 3\.Atrial fibrillation episodes triggered by another uniform SVT.
  • 4\.Untreated or uncontrolled hypertension
  • 5\.Valvular disease requiring chronic anticoagulation or planned valve surgery within 2 years.
  • 6\.Contraindication to treatment with Warfarin or other anticoagulants.
  • 7\.Heart failure with NYHA class III or IV or left ventricular ejection fraction ( \< 35 %.
  • 8\.Left atrial diameter \> 60 mm.
  • 9\.Unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction within last 3 months.
  • 10\.Cardiac revascularization procedure within last 6 months.
