Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to study clinical factors and (blood) biomarkers related to progression of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in patients diagnosed with self-terminating AF with special reference t...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • New onset or history of paroxysmal, self-terminating AF documented as:
  • AF on ECG or Holter-recording or loop recorder
  • Subclinical AF detected in implantable cardiac devices (atrial read \> 190 beats per minute, lasting \> 6 minutes).
  • Prior history of self-terminating AF is allowed;
  • Able and willing to sign informed consent for the registry;
  • Able and willing to undergo implantation of an implantable loop recorder (in patients without a CIED);
  • In patients already on oral anticoagulation drugs, the following inclusion criteria need to be met (to allow for safe temporary interruption of anti-thrombotic treatment for coagulation phenotyping):

  • No other indication for oral anticoagulation (e.g. mechanical valve prosthesis);
  • Patient is willing to temporarily stop oral anticoagulation drugs (OAC).

Exclusion

  • Non-self-terminating, persistent AF;
  • Deemed unsuitable or not willing to undergo implantation of loop recorder (in patients without a CIED);
  • Refusing to temporarily stop OAC for coagulation phenotyping (in patients already on OAC before inclusion in this study);
  • On waiting list for pulmonary vein isolation or expected to be placed on waiting list within one year;
  • Expected to start with amiodarone;
  • Pregnancy;
  • Life expectancy of less than 2.5 years.
