The investigators aim to find biomarkers to determine the success of pulmonary vein isolation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
The investigators perform an observational study in patients undergoing pulmonary vein ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. Additionally, electrophysiological procedures not related to pulmonary vein isolation are also followed. The aim of the study is finding biomarkers that are able to predict short-term outcome of the procedure.The primary endpoint is defined as reoccurrences of atrial fibrillation within the first three months after pulmonary vein isolation.
