Key result
Left atrial volume assessed by CE-CMR was the strongest independent predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation (1.019, P=0.018).
Why the study?
Does left atrial volume, sphericity, and fibrosis assessed by CE-CMR predict atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing catheter ablation?
Population
83 patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF)
Design
Cohort

Loading...
May refine post-ablation AF recurrence risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

Does left atrial volume, sphericity, and fibrosis assessed by CE-CMR predict atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing catheter ablation?
Effect estimate: 1.019
p-value: p=0.018
Left atrial volume assessed by CE-CMR is a strong independent predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation.
Uijl et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Atrial fibrillation (n=83). Left atrial volume, sphericity, and fibrosis was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation (1.019, p=0.018). Left atrial volume assessed by CE-CMR was the strongest independent predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation (1.019, P=0.018).
