Importance The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation on mental health outcomes
is not well understood. Objective To determine whether AF catheter ablation is associated …

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: Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) experience impaired quality of
life (QoL) and psychological distress. Catheter ablation of AF can markedly improve QoL …

Importance Quality of life is not a standard primary outcome in ablation trials, even though
symptoms drive the indication. Objective To assess quality of life with catheter ablation vs …

Importance Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have impaired health-related quality of life
primarily owing to symptoms related to AF episodes; however, quality of life can be …

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) …

Purpose Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. It is
unclear whether the restoration of sinus rhythm with catheter ablation may modify this risk …

Background Early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) has been reported following
atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, whether POCD is persistent long-term is unknown …

Background—In patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), catheter ablation maintains
sinus rhythm more effectively than antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs), but its effect on symptoms …

Background: Data on predictors of long-term clinical outcomes after catheter ablation of
atrial fibrillation (AF) are limited. We sought to assess the association of baseline covariates …
