Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subject is aged 18 to 85 years Subject has been diagnosed with symptomatic paroxysmal or non-paroxysmal AF Scheduled for a primary PVI procedure using the PulseSelect™, FARAPULSE™, Volt™ or Sphere-360™ PFA system.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: As this is an exploratory study in an area where limited prior data exist, we chose not to apply any exclusion criteria. This allows us to capture a complete and representative spectrum of patients. 

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is the degree of hemolysis after PFA with PulseSelect™, Farapulse™, Volt™ and Sphere-360™ systems, assessed by specific hemolysis blood markers.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints include the relationship between the number of PFA applications and hemolysis, correlation between hemolysis and renal function, diagnostic value of urine dipstick testing for hemoglobinuria in identifying patients at risk of hemolysis after PFA and correlation between PFA and myocardial injury.
