Overview

Supports ablation feasibility in Latin America; extends global registries to an underrepresented region but remains hypothesis-generating.

Structured PICO

P
Population
15,099 transcatheter ablation procedures for cardiac arrhythmias performed between January 1 and December 31, 2012, across 120 centres in 13 Latin American countries.
I
Intervention
Transcatheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias (17 different substrates)
O
Outcome
Overall success rate, global complications, and mortalitysafety

The first Latin American Catheter Ablation Registry demonstrates that transcatheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias in this region is highly effective (92% success) and safe.
