Video Summary

The Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Registry (AFib ablation registry) is a tool designed to monitor evidence-based treatment, safety, and outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous catheter ablation procedures to treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to optimize patient outcomes and management, improve quality and safety, and investigate novel quality improvement methods. With over 5.1 million people affected by atrial fibrillation in the United States, the AFib ablation registry serves as a rich source of clinical data to support research and post-market studies. It also provides hospitals with feedback on their data and supports accreditation services and guideline development. The AFib ablation registry is governed by a steering committee and managed by the American College of Cardiology Foundation's National Cardiovascular Data Registry.
