Key result
AF ablation requires careful evaluation for underdiagnosed systemic diseases driving the arrhythmia.
Why the study?
The indication for catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation may need more careful consideration due to possible underdiagnosis of systemic diseases contributing to AF development.
Careful consideration of catheter ablation indications is needed due to potential underdiagnosis of systemic diseases contributing to atrial fibrillation.
When treating atrial fibrillation (AF), there is a growing trend toward considering catheter ablation (CA) as a therapeutic option at an earlier stage in the new era of pulsed field ablation. However, its indication may need to be considered more carefully because of possible underdiagnosis of systemic diseases contributing to the development of AF.1
