Overview

The investigators goal in this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of AliveCor iphone case monitoring device in monitoring patients after AF ablation by comparing transmissions using Alive Cor with transmissions from a traditional transtelephonic monitor (TTM). A secondary goal is to assess the ease of use of AliveCor device compared to traditional TTM system from the patient's perspective
