Does a shorter duration between first AF diagnosis and catheter ablation improve procedural success in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Shorter diagnosis-to-ablation time is associated with higher procedural success rates in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Shorter duration between time of first AF diagnosis and AF ablation is associated with an increased likelihood of ablation procedural success. Additional study is required to confirm these results and to explore implementation of earlier catheter AF ablation and patient outcomes within the current AF care pathway.
