Can the ATLAS score predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after a first catheter ablation procedure?
The ATLAS score was developed and validated as a simple tool to predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after a first catheter ablation procedure.
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.
Mesquita et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
