About this trial

The overall objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effect on quality of life of a comprehensive digital atrial fibrillation (AFib) management tool that will empower patients to a) take an active role in learning about AFib management options, starting and adhering to evidence-based therapies and lifestyle changes and b) to guide the patients during AFib episodes which are associated with anxiety and impairment in quality of life.

Researchers plan to evaluate the effectiveness of this novel digital toolkit in improving quality of life and decreasing AFib burden in a randomized clinical trial (RCT). A pilot study assessing feasibility and retention of the intervention was previously conducted (NCT05400837)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Participants Freedom from documented atrial tachyarrhythmia

Freedom from documented atrial tachyarrhythmia (atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia) episodes of ≥30 seconds between 91 and 365 days after catheter ablation, on or off antiarrhythmic drugs.

Time frame
91 to 365 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Quality of Life as assessed by Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT)

Quality of Life, measured by validated Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) score. Score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores signifying better quality of life

Time frame
365 days
2

AFib burden (percentage of time)

Atrial fibrillation burden (expressed as a percentage of time in atrial fibrillation) between 91 days and 365 days after catheter ablation

Time frame
91 to 365 days
3

Participants Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia off medication

Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia episodes ≥30 seconds in duration between 91 days and 365 days after catheter ablation off medications.

Time frame
91 to 365 days
4

Participants Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia on or off medications

Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia episodes ≥30 seconds in duration between day 1 and day 365 after catheter ablation, on and off medications.

Time frame
1 day to 365 days
