About this study

All patients received either catheter ablation for rhythm control or rate control before enrollment, and the investigators do not assign specific interventions to the subjects during the study. So this study might be considered to be observational.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • age>18 years
  • documented atrial fibrillation
  • New York Heart Association Ⅱ-Ⅳ or left ventricular ejection fraction <50%

Exclusion criteria

  • heart failure that had a suspected reversible cause
  • previous ablation
  • any contraindication to catheter ablation

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Major adverse cardiac events

    Time frame: up to 3 years

    composite of all-cause mortality, stroke and unplanned hospitalization due to cardiovascular reasons

Secondary outcomes

  1. all-cause mortality

    Time frame: up to 3 years

  2. stroke

    Time frame: up to 3 years

    stroke must be certified by CT scan

  3. unplanned hospitalization due to cardiovascular reasons

    Time frame: up to 3 years

    Unplanned hospitalization will be present only if the patient is hospitalized unexpectedly because of persisting or increasing complaints of heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias
