The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different pharmacological approaches to improve long-term outcome of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The pharmacological approaches consist of additional radiofrequency energy applications to eliminate dormant left atrium (LA) - pulmonary vein (PV) reconduction induced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) injection during the procedure, and short-term (90 days) use of anti-arrhythmic drugs following successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Safety,Efficacy
Event-free rate from atrial tachyarrhythmia after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

UNmasking Dormant Electrical Reconduction by Adenosine TriPhosphate (UNDER-ATP) trial
Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to control or ATP groups.
Following successful pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, ATP (0.4mg/body weight-kg) is rapidly injected to induce the dormant left atrium (LA) - PV conduction. If dormant LA-PV conduction is induced, additional radiofrequency energy is delivered to the conduction gap until loss of ATP-induced reconduction is recognized.
Efficacy of Antiarrhythmic drugs Short-Term use after catheter ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (EAST-AF) trial
Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to control or antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) groups immediately after successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Vaughan Williams class I or III AAD is used for 90 days after the procedure in the AAD group.

Male and Female
Patients undergoing first catheter ablation for paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation, who are 21-79 years old, able to be followed for one year in an out-patient clinic and willing to sign the consent form for participation, are eligible for the study.
1) Patients who are intolerant for ATP or antiarrhythmic drugs (Vaughan Williams class I or III), including those in acute phase of intracranial bleeding and those with severe bronchial asthma, severe vasospastic angina, substantial bradycardia, a history of allergy for ATP or antiarrhythmic drugs or a history of severe adverse effect of ATP or antiarrhythmic drugs.
2) Patients equal or younger than 20 years and those equal or older than 80years
3) Patients who are unable to be followed in an out-patient clinic for one year
4) Patients with renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >=2.0mg/dl or hemodialysis)
5) Patients with NYHA class IV heart failure
6) Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%
7) Left atrial diameter > 55mm
8) Very long-lasting (>=5years) persistent atrial fibrillation
9) Patients ineligible for optimal anticoagulant therapy
10) Patients with a history of myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
