Development and validation of a risk score for predicting atrial fibrillation recurrence after a first catheter ablation procedure – ATLAS score

Structured PICO

Can the ATLAS score predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after a first catheter ablation procedure?

Population

Patients undergoing a first catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation

Intervention

ATLAS risk score

Outcome

Atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation

The ATLAS score was developed and validated as a simple tool to predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after a first catheter ablation procedure.

Abstract

A simple risk score to estimate the rate of AF recurrence after ablation was developed and validated. An external assessment of its usefulness as a patient selection tool seems warranted.
