Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. At least 18 years of age or older 2. English speaking 3. Able to consent 4. ANY one of the following criteria: 1. Patients undergoing ablation for AF. 2. A history of non-valvular AF or AFL (not due to a reversible cause) documented on ECG or ambulatory monitoring within 1 year of enrollment and not on chronic anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD). 3. A history of newly diagnosed persistent AF with documented normal sinus rhythm within 6 months of enrollment and undergoing cardioversion fot AF. 4. Two or more of the following criteria if no history of AF: * Age \> 65 years of age * A diagnosis of hypertension * A diagnosis of diabetes * A diagnosis of sleep apnea * A BMI ≥ 30 * Stable HF with preserved or reduced ejection fraction (NYHA Class I, II or III) * CKD not requiring dialysis 5. More than 5% PAC burden on ambulatory ECG monitoring (e.g. Holter, Ziopatch, Lifewatch, etc.) 6. Patients undergoing EP study or ablation for SVT with no history of AF and not meeting any of the above criteria (a-c). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Life expectancy \< 1 year 2. Reversible causes of AF (e.g., post-operative AF, cardiac surgery, pulmonary embolism, untreated hyperthyroidism) 3. Pregnant at the time of enrollment 4. Unwilling/unable to perform follow-up using digital follow-up 5. CKD requiring dialysis 6. Presence of a condition or abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data 7. Patients undergoing active treatment for cancer or diagnosed with cancer requiring treatment in the last 2 years 8. Severe Valvular Disease (eg. Rheumatic Heart Disease, Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation, severe aortic stenosis, or valve replacements) 9. History of organ transplant 10. History of any significant congenital heart defect 11. Existing Pacemakers and ICDs if not undergoing an ablation
