Abstract

The Japanese Catheter Ablation (J-AB) registry, started in August 2017, is a voluntary, nationwide, multicenter, prospective, observational registry, performed by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society (JHRS) in collaboration with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center. From January 2022, the data registration system was changed from Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) system to Fountayn system. The purpose of this registry was to collect the details of target arrhythmias, the ablation procedures, including the type of target arrhythmias, outcomes, and acute complications in the real-world settings. During the year of 2022, we have collected a total of 90,042 procedures (mean age of 66.7 years and 65.9% male) from 614 participant hospitals. Detailed data were shown in Figures and Tables.
