Importance Ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenge. Left atrial
fibrosis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of AF and has been associated with …

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an important alternative to
antiarrhythmic drugs in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. However, the inability …

Background The high power short duration (HPSD) approach was hoped to further improve
the efficacy and safety in radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), compared with …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate preablation computed tomography angiography
(CTA) for atrial and epicardial features to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after …

Aims Pulmonary vein (PV) antrum isolation proved to be effective for treating persistent atrial
fibrillation (PeAF). We sought to investigate the results of a personalized approach aimed at …

Nowadays, a novel contact-force guided ablation technique is used for enclosing pulmonary
veins in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine whether left atrial (LA) …

Introduction It is important to consider recurrent arrhythmia after catheter ablation for
persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) for planning an ablation strategy. However, the studies are …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a valuable noninvasive tool for evaluating
tissue response following catheter ablation of atrial tissue. This review provides an overview …

Abstract Purpose of Review Studies have suggested the superiority of high-power compared
to standard-power radiofrequency ablation ablation (RFCA). This study aimed to assess the …

Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, may be treated through
catheter ablation. The process of atrial arrhythmia catheter ablation, which includes patient …
