Why the study?
Literature suggests that using a contact force catheter with higher power for short periods during AFib ablation is effective and safe.
Does high-power short-duration ablation improve procedural times and reduce recurrence compared to conventional technique in patients undergoing first ablation for atrial fibrillation?
Does high-power short-duration ablation improve procedural times and reduce recurrence compared to conventional technique in patients undergoing first ablation for atrial fibrillation?
High-power short-duration ablation is safe and significantly reduces procedural times compared to conventional ablation, with comparable efficacy for atrial fibrillation.
