Post-ablation care
arrhythmias, arrhythmia
ARRHYTHMIAS, ARRHYTHMIA
Patients of either treatment group will visit the outpatient clinic at 3 months after ablation. At this point, the treating physician will stop any current antiarrhythmic medication. If the patient does not experience any symptoms after ablation, no additional rhythm assessment will be performed, since this will not have therapeutical consequences. In symptomatic patients, arrhythmias will be objectivated with electrocardiogram or multiple holter assessments. If an arrhythmia is confirmed on electrocardiogram or holter after 3 months after the index ablation, patients are offered to recontinue antiarrhythmic medication and to undergo a repeat ablation. Furthermore, patients suffering from persistent AF will undergo cardioversion.
