Does early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia (ERAT) predict late recurrence after pulsed field ablation of atrial fibrillation?
Early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after pulsed field ablation is a strong predictor of late recurrence, regardless of whether it occurs before or after 45 days.
ERAT could be recorded in 21% of patients after PFA-PVI and was an independent predictor for LR. We found no difference in the rate of LRs among patients experiencing ERAT before or after 45 days.
