Key result
Higher left atrial volume is linked to increased atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation.
Why the study?
Does large left atrial volume (LAV/LAVi) predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation?
Does large left atrial volume (LAV/LAVi) predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation?
Large left atrial volume or volume index is a significant predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence following radiofrequency ablation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports LAV assessment for AF ablation risk counseling; strengthens pooled evidence from prior studies.
Patients with AF recurrence following RFA have a higher mean LAV/LAVi compared to patients with no recurrence. Large LAV/LAVi increases the odds of AF recurrence post RFA.
