Previous studies that evaluated the influence of anxiety on recurrence of atrial fibrillation
(AF) after catheter ablation showed inconsistent results. We performed a meta‐analysis of …

Background: The influence of depression on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after
catheter ablation remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the …

Background Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation suffer more from anxiety and
depression than the general population. This study sought to evaluate the association …

Importance The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation on mental health outcomes

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex and multi-factorial rhythm disorder. Catheter
ablation is widely used for the management of AF. However, it is limited by relapse of the …

Background Recurrence rate after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) remains high,
and further investigation on predictors of recurrence is needed. Objects To identify risk …

Background The DISCERN AF study (Discerning Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Episodes
Pre and Post Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation) monitored atrial fibrillation (AF) …

BACKGROUND: To predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation is important for selecting
patients who will be undergoing catheter ablation, several studies respectively evaluated the …
