Implication
May support ablation-first approach in focal atrial tachycardia; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.

Intervention
Treatment approaches including antiarrhythmic medications, surgery, radiofrequency ablation, and mapping techniques (P-wave morphology, advanced three-dimensional mapping)
This review highlights the shift toward a primary ablative approach for focal atrial tachycardia due to the poor efficacy of pharmacological therapy.
