Catheter ablation is increasingly used to treat atrial fibrillation, though challenges remain regarding appropriate patient selection and post-procedure management.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. 1 Catheter ablation is increasingly being used to treat atrial fibrillation, although it is not suitable for all patients. 2 Referring doctors must confront challenges such as the appropriate selection of patients for ablation and proper management of patients after the procedure, and must be familiar with the expected outcomes. Many unanswered questions exist surrounding the appropriate application of this technique.
Lubitz et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation is increasingly used to treat atrial fibrillation, though challenges remain regarding appropriate patient selection and post-procedure management.
