Mashup Score: 3Area Available for Atrial Fibrillation to Propagate Is an Important Determinant of Recurrence After Ablation: - 3 year(s) ago
Abstract Objectives This study sought to evaluate atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcomes based on scar patterns and contiguous area available for AF wavefronts to propagate. Background The rele…

High-res LA/CS propagation maps can rapidly/accurately localize residual endo & epi mitral isthmus conduction in perimitral ATs. Focal ablation at these gaps can ➡️ complete block in 98% w/ minimal additional RF w/o major complications. https://t.co/T5rHVkGuJF #JACCCEP #AblateAF https://t.co/suRJr4d0UZ

Objectives This study sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) using a porous tip contact force–sensing catheter. Background Although the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are established, there are limited data on outcomes in patients with PsAF. As such, no ablation catheter is…

Objectives This study evaluated the impact of contact force–guided radiofrequency ablation versus cryoballoon ablation on quality of life and health care utilization. Background Traditional outcome parameters, such as arrhythmia-free survival, are insufficient to evaluate the clinical impact of atrial fibrillation (AF), as it fails to the capture patient- and health system–level differences in…
