Clinical Trials Thursday, August 7th, 2014Heartrhythmjournal: July 25, 2014
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is associated with PV to left atrium re-conduction. Effective lesion creation necessitates adequate contact force between the ablation catheter and myocardium.
Objective
We prospectively studied the utility of contact force guided ablation on immediate and long-term outcomes. Read More
