Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Catheter Ablation: Data from the German Ablation Registry

Abstract Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as a widespread first or second line treatment option. However, up to 45% of patients (pts) show recurrence of AF within 12 month after CA. We present prospective multicenter registry data comparing characteristics of pts with...
