This meeting will serve as a follow-up to the successful think tank meeting held April 27-28 , and will convene faculty experts from academia, private practice, industry, government, hospitals, and third-party payers to discuss key topics regarding the design of a multi-stakeholder registry for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Key points to be discussed are the mission of SAFARI, scientific questions to be addressed by the registry, the regulatory framework and role of the registry, funding issues, and collection of follow-up data.
