Risk of mortality following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in a UK centre

Introduction: Recently published data from a US nationwide database reported a strikingly high mortality rate of 0.46% within 30 days of a catheter ablation (CA) following atrial fibrillation (AF) procedure. We hypothesized that early mortality from AF ablation may generally be significantly higher...

Summary:Introduction: Recently published data from a US nationwide database reported a strikingly high mortality rate of 0.46% within 30 days of a catheter ablation (CA) following atrial fibrillation (AF) procedure. We hypothesized that early mortality from AF ablation may generally be significantly higher than previously reported, and reported low mortality rates of
