Filter by:Japanese Cather Ablation (J-AB) Registry is a voluntary nationwide registry, performed by Japanese Heart Rhythm Society, collaborated with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center. The objectives of this registry are to observe and describe developments in the catheter ablation treatment of arrhythmia in Japan and to provide reliable information on the type of activity performed and the facilities available in Japanese arrhythmia units.
This prospective observational study is designed to describe the factors determining the success of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). These factors - described as left atrial (LA) function - are simultaneously studied by multi-modal techniques in patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation. The simultaneous measurements are conducted before the PVI in AF and after the sinus rhythm converted due to PVI. These measurements include invasive LA pressure monitoring, LA voltage map creation, LA strain evaluation by transthoracal echocardiography, LA scar-mapping by cardiac MRI, defining biomarkers from blood samples. During the one year follow-up period rhythm monitoring is conducted by regular Holter-monitoring. Our aim is to define the predictive values of the above mentioned factors and to create a new score system for predicting PVI success in persistent AF population.
The "Registry of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death - Influence of Diagnostics and Interventions (RACE-IT)" represents a mono-centric registry of patients being hospitalized suffering from malignant arrythmias (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Detailed findings of patients' clinical outcome regarding mortality and co-morbidities related to the presence of invasive diagnostics or therapies including coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), electrophysiological testing (EP), catheter ablation and implanted cardiac devices (e.g. implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) will be documented. Patients will be included when being hospitalized from the year 2004 until today.
