Does radiofrequency catheter ablation restore full competitive activity in athletes with symptomatic atrial fibrillation?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation via pulmonary vein isolation is an effective strategy to restore competitive athletic performance in athletes with symptomatic atrial fibrillation.
AF, alone or in combination with AFL, may significantly impair maximal effort capacity thereby limiting competitive performance. Multiple PV isolation proved very effective in these patients to restore full competitive activity and allow reeligibility.
Furlanello et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
