Health eHeart BEAT-AFib - Health eHeart Biomarkers of Early Atrial Transformation in Atrial Fibrillation

This is a single center, longitudinal, observational cohort study. 3000 subjects are planned to be enrolled. Each subject will be consented, enrolled and assigned to a group based on AF diagnosis (AF Group, AF Risk Group and Control Group). All subjects will be given mobile devices (such as an AliveCor Kardia and a VivaLnk Wearable ECG patch or similar devices) for remote ECG monitoring. Additionally, sleep and activity can be monitored through a smartphone app (on the Eureka Research Platform). All subjects will receive serial blood draws and saliva sample collections to collect serum, plasma, whole blood, DNA and RNA in order to observe/identify any changes in blood-borne AF markers. Subjects will also undergo serial imaging in the form of an Echo to observe/identify markers and/or changes in cardiovascular structure and functioning. Evaluations will be taken at baseline and once a year for three years from their baseline visit. Additionally, electronic surveys will be administered periodically (eVisits occurring every 3-6 months) using the mobile app to observe any changes in participant reported symptoms. Any participant who receives an AF ablation as part of clinical care will additionally receive one in-person follow-up three months post-ablation procedure and an electronic survey one month post-ablation procedure to observe changes in symptoms after ablation. Subjects will be followed for at least 3 years. The total duration of the study is expected to be at least 10 years. It is expected that it will take 3-4 years for subject recruitment and at least 3 years for subject follow-up (3 yearly in-person visits), but anticipate the digital follow-up to go beyond that (at least 10 years of digital follow-up)
