Does contact force sensing technology reduce atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation undergoing pulmonary vein isolation?
The use of real-time contact force sensing during pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation significantly improves procedural efficiency and reduces 1-year AF recurrence.
