Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Are We Still Looking for the Best Shot?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is independently associated with increased risks of mortality, stroke, heart failure, impaired quality of life, and cognitive decline. Rhythm control has proven superior to rate control in reducing cardiovascular outcomes, with catheter ablation demonstrating greater efficacy than antiarrhythmic drug therapy.– Continuous advances in techniques and technologies have progressively established ablation as a cornerstone in the management of AF. In recent years, 3D mapping and point-by-point ablation have evolved significantly with the introduction of contact force-sensing catheters and [...]
