Background Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that catheter ablation (CA) for
atrial fibrillation improves health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). In daily practice, however …

Importance Catheter ablation is effective in reducing atrial fibrillation (AF), but the
association of ablation for AF with quality of life is unclear. Objective To evaluate whether the …

Background Catheter ablation (CA) is performed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to
reduce symptoms and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL). Methods This …

Background Catheter ablation is widely used as first-line therapy for patients with impaired
quality of life; however, whether catheter ablation improves survival and other outcomes in …

Importance Catheter ablation is more effective than drug therapy in restoring sinus rhythm in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but its incremental effect on long-term quality of life (QOL) …

Background Studies have demonstrated that catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is
associated with better rhythm control than drug therapy. The present study aimed to assess …

Background Catheter ablation (CA) is a recognized first-line treatment for atrial fibrillation
(AF) in selected patients; however, the differences between CA and antiarrhythmic drugs …

Objectives To investigate the effect of catheter ablation (CA) on symptoms and health‐
related quality of life (HRQoL) after 5 years, and analyze predictors of recurrence of …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation targets improvement in quality of life (QoL). Data
is scarce on predictors of QoL improvement following ablation. We aimed to investigate the …

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and causes
patients considerable burden; symptoms such as palpitations and dyspnoea are common …
