Vagus Nerve Injury Post Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (Vagus Nerve Study)

This study is an observational study designed to determine the extent of gastrointestinal
(GI) post-procedure complications after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) for atrial
fibrillation (AF). This exploratory study will evaluate patient symptoms prior to the RFCA
procedure, at 1 month post RFCA procedure, and at 3 months post RFCA procedure, through the
administration of a questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to determine if vagus nerve
injury resulting from RFCA for AF increases the risk of post-procedure GI complications that
may present as temporary or permanent symptoms.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with a verified medical history of atrial fibrillation.

- Male or female >18 years of age.

- Patients scheduled for an RFCA procedure, subsequent to failure of one Antiarrhythmic
Drug (AAD class I, III or IV), or ablation.

- Ability to answer questions posed by the questionnaire.

- Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form, which must be
obtained prior to initiation of any study procedures.
