Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common form of arrhythmia, is associated with the prevalence
of many common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Catheter ablation is …

Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is a well-known treatment option for patients with
symptomatic drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF). Multiple factors have been identified to …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is a well-known treatment option for patients with drug
refractory AF. The increasing number of electrophysiology laboratories able to perform this …

Background Catheter ablation (CA) has become a conventional treatment for atrial
fibrillation (AF), but remains with high recurrence rate. The aim of this meta‐analysis was to …

BACKGROUND: Recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation
(RFCA) is not uncommon, and the predictors of AF recurrence are not completely …

BACKGROUND: To predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation is important for selecting
patients who will be undergoing catheter ablation, several studies respectively evaluated the …

Background The type of atrial fibrillation (AF) is the sole prognostic factor that affects the
level of recommendation for catheter ablation in the current guidelines. Despite being …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of diastolic dysfunction on the outcome of atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation. METHODS: Eighty consecutive patients with drug-refractory …

Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as a widespread first or second
line treatment option. However, up to 45% of patients (pts) show recurrence of AF within 12 …

Abstract Background The CABANA (Catheter Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy
