Call for Research Collaboration: TRACE-AF Data Request
Catheter ablation is a key first-line treatment for atrial fibrillation. While severe malignant complications remain rare, early sudden or unexplained deaths after ablation remain poorly understood. The TRACE-AF registry is collecting retrospective patient-level data to identify underlying mechanisms and improve patient safety. Help close this critical knowledge gap by contributing eligible cases to TRACE-AF. Learn more about TRACE-AF!Â
To share eligible cases, please contact Betsy Ellsworth, MSN, ANP, and her colleagues at the Cardiac EP Service Research Program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, at [email protected].
