Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to assess a risk profile, including circulating biomarkers and genetic background, associated with failure of the cryoballoon AF ablation, i.e. any (a)symptomatic AF/AFL/AT >30 sec without anti-arrhythmic drugs determined within 1 year of follow-up by ECG recording and 1-day Holter monitoring. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes concern the identification of a risk profile associated with (long term) failure or success of the procedure; the number of patients requiring repeat baltaion following cryoballoon AF ablation; the electrophysiological findings during the (redo) procedure; procedural predictors of succes of the cryoballoon AF ablation; the incidence and type of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia*s following the procedure; the occurence of major cardiac and cardiovascular events; safety of the cryoballoon AF ablation; changes in left atrial size and function following ablation; the degree of epicardial adipose tissue; the use of anti-arrhythmic drugs; the frequency of repeated ablations; quality of life and physical activity. | — |
