The use of a blanking period (BP) after an atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure is a
common practice, but recent data questions the benign nature of early recurrences of atrial …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

BACKGROUND: The cryoballoon (CB) represents the gold standard single-shot device for
pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Single-shot pulsed field …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with increased
mortality. Heart failure, hypertension, valvular disease, and obstructive sleep apnea are risk …

Purpose The present study assesses different left atrial (LA) strain approaches in relation to
atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after ablation and compares LA feature tracking (FT) strain …

Background Periodontitis has not been recognized as a modifiable risk factor for atrial
fibrillation (AF). This prospective nonrandomized study investigated whether periodontal …

Aims To test the feasibility of postprocedural photoplethysmography (PPG) rhythm
telemonitoring during the first week after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and its predictive …

Background: Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients on hemodialysis
(HD) is reported to have a high risk of late recurrence (LR). However, the relationship …

Background Early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia (ERAT) is associated with ablation-
induced proarrhythmogenic inflammation; however, existing studies used intermittent …

Background Oxidative stress is associated with atrial fibrillation recurrence following
catheter ablation. Urinary isoxanthopterin (U‐IXP) is one of the noninvasive markers which …
