The prospective MAESTRIA – AFNET 10 cohort is intended to include:

  • 200 patients with paroxysmal AF (without AF episodes longer than 1 week and no need of cardioversion)
  • 200 patients with persistent AF (AF episodes longer than 1 week or AF episodes, which required cardioversion for termination)
  • 200 patients with permanent AF

This will allow to enroll a representative cross-section of AF patients in Europe.
