Do you plan to have an afib catheter ablation?
By joining the VIBRANT-AF Study before your catheter ablation, you can contribute your data to an effectiveness study that will improve the care of afib patients having catheter ablations. This study is being done at the University of California at San Francisco by Dr. Greg Marcus, who was on the faculty of this year’s patient conference talking about “citizen science.”

Join the VIBRANT-AF Study to improve catheter ablation effectiveness
Tried to join but link not working. Ablation to occur in about a month or so to reduce my afib.
Here is the link to the news story: https://www.stopafib.org/afib-news-events/news/join-the-vibrant-af-study-to-improve-catheter-ablation-effectiveness/
I am in the vibrant AF study. Filling out the weekly survey and it asks how many times in the past week I had a trial flutter. I did not have it in the past week. There is no way to say no. The only choices are the numbers one through seven. I cannot move forward in the study because I haven’t answered the question. But again, there is no way to say I did not have atrial fibrillation in the past week. I had it two weeks ago. How can I move forward in The survey?
Sandra,
Can you contact someone who is administering the survey when you have questions? Is there a support or help option, or someone you can call or email? We are not administering the survey.
