Video Summary

The video provides an overview of the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Registry (AFib ablation registry). The registry aims to assess and improve the outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous catheter ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation. It collects patient-level data from participating hospitals to support quality improvement efforts and research initiatives. Atrial fibrillation is a growing health concern, affecting over 5.1 million people in the United States. The registry helps monitor evidence-based treatments, safety, and long-term outcomes. It includes anyone 18 years or older who has undergone a percutaneous catheter-based AFib ablation procedure. The registry provides feedback to hospitals and supports accreditation services. The AFib ablation registry is governed by a steering committee that provides strategic oversight and guidance.
