The relationship of early recurrence of atrial fibrillation and the 3-month integrity of the ablation lesion set

Abstract Early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (ERAF) after catheter-ablation (CA) can be a transient phenomenon due to inflammation, or a harbinger of late AF recurrence due to CA lesion (re)conduction. We studied the relationship between ERAF and the 3-month CA lesions integrity. Forty one conse...
