EMOTIon and COgNitive Function After Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation vs. Medical Therapy(EMOTICON Trial)
EMOTIon and COgNitive Function After Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation vs. Medical Therapy; Randomized Clinical Trial (EMOTICON Trial)
"Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmic disease that increases especially in the elderly, increasing the risk of ischemic stroke by 5 times and is a major cause of dementia and cognitive impairment.
Cognitive dysfunction accompanying AF occurs regardless of the presence or absence of stroke, and AF itself is known to affect cognitive function.
However, since cognitive dysfunction is also affected by various accompanying chronic diseases, whether the cognitive dysfunction accompanying AF is due to subclinical ischemic stroke, cerebral hypoperfusion due to reduced cardiac output, inflammatory reaction or platelet dysfunction are unclear.
Recently, this research team reported an improvement in cognitive function with active sinus rhythm therapy such as AF catheter ablation. Nevertheless, it has not yet been proven whether such active and invasive AF treatment affects the improvement of cognitive function or depression by a randomized clinical trial.
In this prospective randomized clinical comparative study, the investigators will compare the AF catheter ablation group and drug therapy group in terms of cognitive function tests and depression psychological tests at baseline and a year after treatment. Our hypothesis is that AF catheter ablation is superior to drug therapy to improve cognitive function and depressive mood.

Study design
- Prospective randomization (catheter ablation group vs. drug treatment group) (Python program is used, the random number module is imported using the import random syntax, and the random number table of the two groups is prepared and used)
- Target number of targets 320 (160 for each group)
- Cardiac rhythm follow-up: 2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines (baseline, 3 months, every 6 months after Holter, Electrocardiogram when symptoms are present)
- Anticoagulant therapy follows 2014 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines.
- Evaluation of MOCA score (cognitive function), CES-D score (depression), and GAD-7 score (anxiety) at baseline and a year after treatment, respectively.
- Evaluation of all adverse events occurring in each group, hospitalization rate, major cardiovascular attack, and mortality rate comparison
Progress and rhythm/ ECG follow-up
- Implemented in accordance with 2012 ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines for AF management
- Baseline MOCA, CES-D, and GAD-7 score evaluation
- Outpatient follow-up observation 1 to 2 weeks after the start of the procedure or medication
- Follow-up observation at intervals of 2 months, 6 months, and then every 6 months after starting the procedure or medication
- If the patient complains of arrhythmia symptoms, conduct an electrocardiogram at any time, and follow the rhythm with a Holter or event recorder.
- Follow-up MOCA, CES-D, and GAD-7 score evaluation
Follow-up observation
- All patients are scheduled to visit the outpatient clinic every 6 months after 1~2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, and even if they have symptoms in the middle, they will be treated as an outpatient at any time.
- An ECG is administered at every outpatient visit. A 24-hour Holter or event recorder was administered for 1 year at intervals of 2, 6, and 6 months after the procedure (2012 Heart Rhythm Society/EHRA/European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society Expert Consensus Statement guidelines).
- If atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds is observed on a standard electrocardiogram, event electrocardiogram, or Holter, it is evaluated as recurrence. Recurrence within 3 months after the procedure is classified as early recurrence, and recurrence after 3 months is classified as clinical recurrence.
