Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation represents a safe and effective procedure to restore sinus rhythm. The idea that post-procedural AF episodes - during the blanking period - are not considered treatment failure has been increasingly challenged. The E-Patch, a single-use adhesive electrode, facilitates extended continuous ECG monitoring for 120 h. This pilot study aims to assess the effectiveness of this ambulatory monitoring device and investigate whether very-early AF recurrence correlates with delayed blanking period ablation outcomes.
