Re‐definition of blanking period in radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in the contact force era

Abstract

PAF patients with ER who have undergone CF-guided ablation have a greater risk of LR than those who have undergone non-CF-guided ablation. ER in the third month after CF-guided ablation may indicate an absolute risk of LR. Blanking period could be defined as 2 months in the CF era.
