Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive and degenerative disease, and its development is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. There is a lack of evidence regarding the prognosis of catheter ablation in patients without any cardiovascular comorbidities.

BackgroundThe role of anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) in recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA) is not fully understood. ConclusionsExPVT and post-procedural high rMSSD are independent risk factors for post-AFCA recurrence but not for AAD response in patients with recurrent AF.

Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is an additional modality to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF). Lack of durable PWI is a risk factor for AF recurrence.

Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. Many were not in sinus rhythm or anticoagulated.

A notched P wave is usually defined as a dip over the smallest unit of electrocardiography (ECG) recording paper, 40 ms, but automated analysis of ECGs has shown that even a notch of 20 ms is associated with cardiovascular events.

AF stands for atrial fibrillation. The big risk of AF is thought to be an increased risk of strokes and therefore when we see patients above the age of 65, or patients who carry comorbidities we recommend lifelong anticoagulation and as long as the patient is anticoagulated, we feel that the patient is safe.
