Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the influence of different psychological parameters (e.g. depression, anxiety, personality traits, resilience, tolerance of uncertainty or heart beat perception) on treatment outcome and quality of life in patients with cardiac arrythmias.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This longitudinal observational study examines patients with cardiac arrhythmia (such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) who are undergoing a conventional standard therapy in the Department of Cardiology of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Benjamin Franklin. To examine the impact of psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, resilience and risk factors (e.g. neuroticism) on cardiac treatment outcomes, patients are evaluated with a standardized psychological assessment including established questionnaires. The baseline observation is performed before the standard treatment of the arrhythmia (e.g. pharmacological treatment or electrophysiological methods). Follow-up observations are made 3 and 6 month after the cardiological intervention.
