Key result
This editorial discusses a study evaluating the long-term efficacy of combining high power short duration ablation with lesion size index for the management of atrial fibrillation.
Why the study?
Does the combination of high power short duration ablation with lesion size index improve long-term efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation?

This editorial introduces a study evaluating the long-term efficacy of combining lesion size index with high power short duration ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation has gained widespread acceptance since the concept was introduced by Haissaguerre et al a quarter of a century ago. High power short duration ablation has been widely adopted in the management of atrial fibrillation. Evidence for combining lesion size index and high power short duration ablation is lacking. In this issue of the journal, Cai et al evaluated the combination of HPSD with LSI with a focus on long-term efficacy.
