Comparison of (R) and (S) Propafenone for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Induction
A double-blind randomized active-controlled clinical trial that will determine the efficacy of R-propafenone for suppressing inducible atrial fibrillation in patients with a history of paroxysmal AF undergoing ablation. This is a single center study conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center by VanCART members Knollmann and Shoemaker.

A current project of PGRN that will create iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from patients with a history of drug-induced TdP.
The Vanderbilt AF Electrophysiology Phenotyping Project
A prospective observational registry with DNA and EP data from patients with AF undergoing AF ablation. Standardized data collection includes: baseline intervals, AV block cycle length, AV node ERP, LA ERP, pulmonary vein ERP, LA voltage, LA conduction velocity, and PV myocardial sleeve measurements.
