NCT01014741
Procedures for ablation of persistent or long lasting atrial fibrillation are frequently long and require extensive ablation. Some electrophysiologists administer the drug ibutilide during these procedures to help organize the fibrillatory activity of the left atrium with the hope that this may shorten the length of the procedure and duration of ablation needed. Currently there is no standardized approach of administering the drug ibutilide during these procedures, thus the investigators cannot be certain that administering this drug does in fact facilitate the procedure. The aim of the MAGIC-AF Trial is to see if administering a standard dose of the drug ibutilide at a standard time in the procedure can allow for a reduction in the ablation procedure time. The investigators hypothesize that administering ibutilide during these procedures will result in a reduction in the procedure and ablation time required.

This project will work to increase knowledge about the utility of a website for management of chronic pain, Our Whole Lives (OWL). It will do so by examining barriers and facilitators to patient use. In order to gather this information, the investigators will conduct a Science Cafe with 30 individuals (including participants with chronic pain, who have family members with chronic pain or are a stakeholder in the chronic pain community) to gather feedback about how to tailor the OWL website to their needs and preferences and how to improve ease of use for this tool. The investigators will also pilot two cohorts with 40 patients with chronic pain (2 groups of 20 patients) with OWL, the patient-centered, mobile health chronic pain management resource, measuring pain impact (pain severity, pain interference, physical function) and pain associated outcomes (e.g., depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, pain self-efficacy, health education impact and internalized stigma related to chronic pain).
