Does metabolic syndrome increase the risk of recurrence in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation treated with catheter ablation?
Does metabolic syndrome increase the risk of recurrence in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation treated with catheter ablation?

MS may reduce AF ablation success in elderly; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective confirmation before practice change.
