Bad Berka Heart Rhythm Registry Collecting Data on Safety and Outcomes for Patients Treated for Cardiac Arrhythmias or Device Implantation at Heart Center Bad Berka

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are gathering real-world data in the Bad Berka Heart Rhythm Registry 2B2R, a prospective, single-center observational study focused on patients undergoing treatment for cardiac arrhythmias or implantation of cardiac electronic devices CIEDs at the Heart Center Bad Berka. This registry aims to evaluate procedural safety, short- and long-term effectiveness, and clinical outcomes across various arrhythmias and interventional methods, including new technologies like pulsed field ablation and conduction system pacing. The goal is to support clinical decisions, identify outcome predictors, and improve quality and innovation in cardiac electrophysiology. Patients included in the registry receive standard care for arrhythmias such as drug therapy, electrophysiological studies, catheter ablation for conditions like atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia, as well as stroke prevention interventions and device implantation. Data collection is prospective and covers procedural details, complication rates, acute success, follow-up results, imaging, device therapy, and patient-reported outcomes. The registry includes substudies focusing on specific arrhythmias or technologies. Participants provide informed consent and continue usual clinical management by their physicians. Researchers assess acute treatment success and safety within 30 days, as well as arrhythmia recurrence, rehospitalization, symptom and quality of life changes, and device therapy outcomes over about one year. The registry complies with ethical and data protection standards and does not alter clinical care. Participation involves data collection from treatment and follow-up without influencing the therapy itself.
