Arrhythmia Recurrence and Rhythm Control Strategies After Catheter Ablation of Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation (ARRC-AF Study)

Abstract

In this study, additional rhythm-control strategies were frequently continued after index ablation. One in 6 patients underwent repeat ablation, with the majority receiving concomitant AAD therapy. These data indicate that a combined strategy of catheter ablation and AADs is currently used in practice for rhythm control.
