Dear Colleague, The European Heart Rhythm Association would like to hear from you.
Despite advances in the safety of atrial fibrillation ablation, some complications still occur. It is common practice in the scientific literature to report the overall rate of safety events after a procedure, without a uniform distinction between minor and major complications.
The purpose of this survey is to create a score to define the perceived severity of complications that may occur during or after a procedure.
Please help the EHRA by sharing your opinion: let's better define the relative severity of the different complications of AF ablation.
