Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →This is a registry study — which means researchers are collecting health information from young people under 35 who have been newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a condition where the heart beats irregularly). The study will gather information about your medical history, lifestyle, genetics, and how doctors are treating your condition. By collecting data from many young patients in this situation, researchers hope to better understand why this condition happens in younger people and what treatments work best.
Atrial fibrillation is usually thought of as a condition affecting older adults, but it does happen in young people too — and doctors don't yet fully understand why or how to best manage it in younger patients. This study exists to fill that knowledge gap by learning more about the causes, patterns, and best treatments for heart rhythm problems in people under 35.

As a participant, you would continue receiving your regular medical care and treatment as usual — doctors will manage your condition following standard treatment guidelines. You would share information about your health history, physical activity, any substance use, and family medical history. The research team will also collect genetic information and track how your condition is being managed, including any medications or procedures you receive. You would be part of a group of about 200 young patients helping researchers learn more about this condition.
