This review summarizes the concept, pathologic basis, clinical characteristics, predictors, and treatment protocols of stiff left atrial syndrome, a complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Stiff left atrial syndrome warrants clinical vigilance after AF ablation; leaves open need for prospective validation of predictors and therapies.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is an effective approach for treating atrial fibrillation. Its complications have attracted much attention, of which the stiff left atrial syndrome is a recently discovered complication that has not been completely understood. This study aims to investigate the concept, pathologic basis, clinical characteristics, predictors, and treatment protocols of the stiff left atrial syndrome after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation.
