Abstract Purpose of Review Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia, is
associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Maintenance of stable sinus rhythm …

Catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently one of the most commonly
performed electrophysiology procedures. Ablation of paroxysmal AF is based on the …

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as an important rhythm-control
strategy and is by far the most common cardiac ablation procedure performed worldwide …

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an important treatment method.
Electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins is the cornerstone of most AF ablation procedures …

Background In the past decade, catheter ablation has become an established therapy for
symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Until very recently, few data have been available to guide …

Abstract Treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a controversial matter. Catheter
ablation is increasingly being used to treat patients with AF, and recent studies have …

Abstract Aims The Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Pilot Study is a prospective registry designed to
describe the clinical epidemiology of patients undergoing an atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation …

Catheter ablation is an established treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AF), and pulmonary
vein isolation (PVI) has become the gold standard in AF ablation. AF recurrence after PVI …

Catheter ablation is an important treatment modality for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Although the superiority of catheter ablation over antiarrhythmic drug therapy has been …

The rationale for ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) may be placed in the wider context of the
rationale for making any attempt to maintain sinus rhythm (SR). The first and foremost …
