Impact of diagnosis‐to‐ablation time on non‐pulmonary vein triggers and ablation outcomes in persistent atrial fibrillation

Introduction Non‐pulmonary vein (PV) triggers are a major cause of atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) recurrence after catheter ablation. However, the effect of the diagnosis‐to‐ablation time (DAT) on non‐PV triggers in persistent atrial fibrillation is unknown. Methods and Results This observational stud...

Description
Summary:Introduction Non‐pulmonary vein (PV) triggers are a major cause of atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) recurrence after catheter ablation. However, the effect of the diagnosis‐to‐ablation time (DAT) on non‐PV triggers in persistent atrial fibrillation is unknown. Methods and Results This observational study evaluated 502 consecutive persistent AF patients who underwent initial ablation. We compared 408 patients whose DAT was
