Why the study?

Catheter ablation does not guarantee arrhythmia-free survival, necessitating better identification of suitable patients to improve outcomes and prevent AF recurrences.

Overview

May support non-antiarrhythmic rhythm control in rising AF burden; leaves open validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation (pulmonary vein isolation)
I
Intervention
Catheter ablation (pulmonary vein isolation)
O
Outcome
Atrial fibrillation recurrence

This review summarizes clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation to help identify suitable candidates for the procedure.
