Left atrial emptying fraction predicts recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Left atrial emptying fraction predicts recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Compared with left atrial (LA) dimension, LA emptying fraction (LAEF) has received less emphasis as a predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). In addition, patients experiencing post-RFCA AF recurrence may respond to previously ineffective antia...
