Clinical and electrophysiological predictors of radiofrequency ablation efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation

Abstract

The article describes prognostic value of clinical and electrophysiological criteria for radiofrequency catheter ablation efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation. The most important criteria are nonparoxysmal and long persisting forms of atrial fibrillation as well as the age, left ventricular ejection fraction, atrial diameter and volume, underlying cardiac diseases.
