Title: Does Less Atrial Fibrillation During the Blanking Period Lead to Better Long-Term Outcomes? The Effect of Rapid Cardioversion.
Authors: KIM, YOUNG‐HOON
Abstract: The article reports on a high rate of early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias which is seen patients who have undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. A discussion of research which has investigated the pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment of early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias is presented.
