The study is designed to determine the best practices in the patient pathway, and to analyze pre-procedural, procedural and follow-up workflow data related with ablation of atrial fibrillation where the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation System is used in a commercial and standard of care setting. Workflow-related variables, inclusive of pre-procedural imaging, methods of transseptal access, anesthesia/sedation technique, intracardiac mapping, ablation settings, dosing strategy, lesion sets and general procedure management, will be used to identify predominant workflow schemes that will be associated with patient demographics, procedure-related complications (safety parameters), and one-year effectiveness parameters.
The study data can be used for procedural workflow optimization when using Pulsed Field Ablation for the ablation treatment of Atrial Fibrillation based on patient demographics, cardiac anatomy and arrhythmia characteristics.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subjects are prospectively planned and intended to be treated with the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system for cardiac tissue ablation, per physician's medical judgement, and as per hospitals' standard of care
* Subjects who are willing and capable of providing informed consent
* Subjects who are willing and capable of participating to this Registry at an approved clinical investigational center
* Subjects whose age is 18 years or above, or who are of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects who are currently enrolled in another investigational study or registry that would directly interfere with the current study. Exceptions are when the subject is participating in a mandatory governmental registry, or a purely observational registry, that do not interfere with the current study
* Prior Left Atrium Ablation
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
