Key result
Ablation termination of long-lasting AF is linked to improved long-term outcomes.
Why the study?
Does procedural termination of long-lasting AF by catheter ablation alone improve outcomes in patients with persistent AF?
Does procedural termination of long-lasting AF by catheter ablation alone improve outcomes in patients with persistent AF?
Achieving procedural termination during catheter ablation for long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation is associated with better long-term outcomes.
Supports targeting termination during persistent AF ablation; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Procedural termination of long-lasting AF by catheter ablation alone is associated with an improved outcome.
