Why the study?
Ablation index is useful for circumferential pulmonary vein isolation in AF, but the role of radiofrequency power in this setting remains to be elucidated.
Does high-power radiofrequency application reduce procedure time and improve first-pass isolation in patients undergoing AI-guided atrial fibrillation ablation?
Does high-power radiofrequency application reduce procedure time and improve first-pass isolation in patients undergoing AI-guided atrial fibrillation ablation?
High-power radiofrequency application in ablation index-guided pulmonary vein isolation significantly shortens procedure time and increases first-pass isolation rates compared to lower power settings.
