Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A proportional meta-analysis and systematic review of single-arm studies

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Limited data exists about the efficacy and clinical outcomes of AF ablation in HCM.

Objective

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the role of catheter-based ablation for treatment of AF in patients with HCM.

Methods

PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies discussing outcomes of catheter-based ablation for AF in patients with HCM. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted relevant data. Incidence rate estimates from individual studies underwent logit transformation to calculate the weighted summary proportion under the random effect model.
