BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. This study aimed to evaluate a short-term anti-inflammatory treatment with colchicine following ablation of AF.METHODS:Patients scheduled for ablation were randomized to receive colchicine 0.6 2.02];P=0.89). 1.99];P=0.55).CONCLUSIONS:Colchicine
