Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome is failure of the hybrid AF ablation, i.e. any (a)symptomatic AF/AFL/AT >30 sec without anti-arrhythmic drugs determined at 1 year of follow-up by ECG recording and prolonged Holter monitoring. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes concern the identification of a risk profile associated with (long-term) failure or succes of the procedure, the number of patients requiring endocardial ablation in addition to epicardial ablation during the procedure, the electrophysiological findings (voltage, areas of fractionated potentials) during the procedure, the incidence and type of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias following the procedure, the changes in left atrial size and function, the use of anti-arrhythmic drugs, the frequency of repeated ablations, the quality of life and physical activity, and the adipose tissue biomarkers that are associated with the progression, prognosis and other markers of atrial fibrillation. | — |
