About this trial
To quantify genetic variants in a focused DCM gene panel among AF-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) and positive/negative controls
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age ≥18
Persistent AF before index catheter ablation or cardioversion
LVEF ≤40% during rate-controlled (resting HR <100bpm, mean HR on 24-hour Holter <100bpm) AF prior to index catheter ablation or cardioversion
LVEF normalisation (LVEF ≥55%) in SR, post-catheter ablation or cardioversion (≥3 months post-catheter ablation or cardioversion), no AF (>30 seconds of continuous AF) detected outside blanking period (8 weeks post-catheter ablation), and with no new introduction of any new or increased dose of heart failure guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 (SLGT2) inhibitors, increased dose of beta-blocker (BB), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA))
