P6469Catheter ablation during sinus rhythm is associated with acute loss of left atrial contractile function in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a strain study
Background: Catheter ablation is the recommended treatment in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the data on acute effects of catheter ablation on left atrial (LA) contractile function are scarce. Therefore, the purpose of the study was twofold:Purpose: Firstly, to describe acute effects of catheter ablation on LA contractile function in patients with paroxysmal AF and in sinus rhythm at the time of ablation. Secondly, to assess potential value of different indices of LA morphology and function.Background: Catheter ablation is the recommended treatment in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
