  <brief_summary>
    <textblock>
      A program of research has been set up at St. George's Hospital, London studyng the&#xD;
      practicalities of catheter ablation. The current practice of catheter ablation is being&#xD;
      studied for a range of arrhythmias including PAF, persistent AF, advanced persistent AF and&#xD;
      resistant WPW.&#xD;
    </textblock>
  </brief_summary>
  <detailed_description>
    <textblock>
      The study design will be a separate randomised clinical trial for each of the arrhythmias&#xD;
      studied. There will be 1:1 randomisation to either the cryotherapy protocol or RF protocol.&#xD;
      Arrhythmia patients already under the care of this cardiac centre, who have already opted for&#xD;
      catheter ablation treatment will be approached to ask if they will also be willing to&#xD;
      participate in this longterm research program.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The protocols for each different arrhythmia are in line with current practice and knowledge&#xD;
      and utilising current technology. In the program, the investigators have 1 or 2 protocols&#xD;
      that mildly differ from conventional use but have already passed through initial experience&#xD;
      with publication on this- this is the multi-catheter cryocatheter approach.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Acute procedural outcomes, short, medium and longterm success will be recorded for each&#xD;
      patient, in addition to patient or participant experience and quality of life outcomes.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The catheter ablation research program has passed through ethical panel review in London and&#xD;
      has the potential to become a multi-centre study.&#xD;
