Extent of Left Atrial Ablation Lesions and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Catheter Ablation - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Extent of Left Atrial Ablation Lesions and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Catheter Ablation - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to induce atrial remodeling, which promotes fibrosis related to arrhythmogenesis. Accordingly, since scars induced by catheter ablation (CA) can reduce unablated fibrotic areas, greater extent of left atrial (LA) scarring may be associated with...
