Key result
Study provides background only, reporting no comparative outcome data on rhythm monitoring after pulsed field ablation.
Why the study?
Detection of recurrent atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation depends on rhythm-monitoring intensity, but the impact of various external noninvasive ECG monitoring strategies on diagnostic yield is inconclusive.
Frequent daily home ECG may detect early postablation AF recurrence comparably to ILR in persistent AF; leaves open whether this strategy improves outcomes or warrants practice change.
Detection of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation is highly dependent on rhythm-monitoring intensity. Recent data suggest that intensive approaches to ECG monitoring is necessary in the first 12 months following catheter ablation for AF. Various external, noninvasive ECG monitoring strategies are available for patients (pts) without an implantable device, however, the impact on diagnostic yield is inconclusive.
