Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of ablation procedures targeting specific heart areas in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, focusing on recurrence and treatment efficacy.
- A total of 1,633 patients were divided into two groups: those without comorbidities and those with cardiovascular issues, with recurrence rates after 10 years being higher in the comorbidity group (51% vs. 31%).
- Despite these differences, both groups showed high success rates in remaining arrhythmia-free after repeat ablation, indicating the importance of addressing non-pulmonary vein triggers regardless of existing health conditions.
