Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →This is a registry — a database — that tracks how hospitals treat patients hospitalized with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (two types of irregular heartbeats). Over 88 U.S. hospitals participate by sharing information about their patients' care, medications, and outcomes. The goal is to help hospitals understand what works best and continuously improve the quality of care they provide.
Despite knowing what the best treatments are, not all hospitals provide them consistently. This registry helps hospitals see how they're doing compared to others, identify gaps in care, and make improvements so that every patient with an irregular heartbeat gets the same high-quality, evidence-based treatment.

If you qualify, your hospital care team will include information about your hospital stay in the registry database — things like what medications you were prescribed, tests you had, and how you responded to treatment. You won't need to do anything extra; the hospital staff handles the data collection. Your information helps the registry build a picture of how well hospitals are treating irregular heartbeats across the country.
