Does radiofrequency catheter ablation improve quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients?
Atrial fibrillation patients
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA)
Quality of life measured with a Short Form-36 Questionnaire (Physical Component Summary [PCS] and Mental Component Summary [MCS])patient reported
Radiofrequency catheter ablation significantly improves both physical and mental components of quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly when sinus rhythm is maintained.
RFCA is associated with a significant increase in the PCS and MCS in AF patients. Patients without AF recurrence after RFCA had a better improvement in the PCS and MCS than patients who had AF recurrence.
