Abstract Background Catheter ablation is recognized as an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite its effectiveness, significant sex-specific differences have been observed, which influence the outcomes of procedure. This study explores these in a cohort patients with persistent AF. We aim to assess sex baseline characteristics, symptoms, quality life, imaging findings, and response catheter Methods post hoc analysis DECAAF II trial evaluated 815 (161 females, 646 males)....
Abstract Introduction Obesity is implicated in adverse atrial remodeling and worse outcomes patients with fibrillation. The objective of this study to assess the effect body mass index (BMI) on ablation‐induced scar formation late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE‐CMR). Methods We conducted an analysis DECAAF II participants who underwent LGE‐CMR scans measure 3 months after catheter ablation. Ablation parameters lesion delivery were not dependent BMI. BMI...
