Optimizing Quality of Life by Improved Patient Expectation Following Atrial Fibrillation C
The aim is to investigate whether optimizing patients' expectations towards the interventional treatment of atrial fibrillation (catheter ablation) leads to a lower disease-related impairment of the patients compared to the control group in the first three months after ablation (the so-called blanking period).
