Why the study?
Recurrence after catheter ablation for AF remains challenging, and little is known about the effect of renal function on ablation efficacy.
Do decreased eGFR and elevated LAVI predict long-term recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after catheter ablation for AF in patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency?
Do decreased eGFR and elevated LAVI predict long-term recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after catheter ablation for AF in patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency?
Decreased eGFR and elevated LAVI are independent predictors of long-term recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after first-time catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Lower eGFR may flag higher AF ablation recurrence risk; leaves open whether optimizing renal function improves outcomes.
Zheng et al. (2021) studied this question.
