Implantable Loop Recorders in Post-atrial Fibrillation (AF) Ablation: RPAF-A

This is a randomized pilot study, of post pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) patients to determine the clinical utility of the Implantable Loop Recorder. These type of patients either are monitored with weekly transtelephonic monitoring (TTM) or implantable loop recorder (ILR). The Medtronic Reveal XT loop recorder will be implanted at the time of the PVI or at the 3-4 month PVI follow-up visit and patient care will be managed based on randomization to a blinded or unblinded group. Outcome measures will be compared to aid in decision making regarding anticoagulation and overall post ablation clinical management.
