Key result
Review summarizes major predictors of AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation to guide patient selection.
Why the study?
Identifying predictors of AF recurrence after catheter ablation is of major importance to improve long-term results and assist electrophysiologists in candidate selection.
What are the predictors of recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients after radiofrequency catheter ablation?
What are the predictors of recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients after radiofrequency catheter ablation?
This review summarizes predictors of AF recurrence following radiofrequency ablation to aid electrophysiologists in patient selection.
May guide AF ablation patient selection; leaves open prospective validation of predictors.
Catheter ablation is a well-known treatment for patients with AF. Despite the growing knowledge in the field, the identification of predictors of recurrence of AF after catheter ablation is one of the primary goals and is of major importance to improve long-term results of the procedure. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of what has been published in recent years and to summarise the major predictors, helping cardiac electrophysiologists in the selection of the right candidates for catheter ablation.
