Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of arrhythmogenic foci (AMF) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and their impact on recurrence post-ablation.
- Researchers analyzed 117 patients who underwent catheter ablation and noted that many still showed inducible AF after the procedure.
- The presence of residual non-PV AMF, duration of AF, and enlarged left atrial volume were identified as independent risk factors for AF recurrence, highlighting the need for careful assessment of AMF during treatment.
