Why the study?
What are the pre-procedural predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after repeated catheter ablation in patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation?
What are the pre-procedural predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after repeated catheter ablation in patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation?
The ALARMEc score, which incorporates AF type and normalized left atrial area, effectively predicts long-term arrhythmia-free survival after repeated catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
