Brain magnetic resonance imaging and cognitive alterations after ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation
Abstract Catheter ablation is an important non-pharmacological intervention for atrial fibrillation (AF), but its effect on the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral emboli and long-term effects on cognitive function remain unknown. We prospectively enrolled 101 patients who underwent AF ablation. Brai...
