Predictors of outcome after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: Group analysis categorized by age and type of atrial fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The outcome of catheter ablation could probably differ among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), depending on age and AF type. We aimed to investigate the difference in predictors of outcome after catheter ablation for AF among the patient categories divided by age and AF type.

Methods and results

A total of 396 patients with AF (mean age 65.69 ± 11.05 years, 111 women [28.0%]) who underwent catheter ablation from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We divided the patients into four categories: patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) or persistent AF (PeAF) who were 75 years or younger (≤75 years) or older than 75 years (>75 years). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with PAF aged ≤75 years had the lowest AF recurrence
