Selection of rhythm intervention strategies in atrial fibrillation patients with cancer and efficacy and safety of catheter ablation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of comorbidity of cancer is increased in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, which is a massive challenge for clinical management in cardiovascular settings. This study aimed to analyze whether cancer affects the decision of radiofrequency ablation and to explore the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation in AF patients with cancer.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who were first diagnosed AF and identified who were with cancer. The propensity score matching method was utilized to balance the differences between the cancer and non-cancer groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the related factors affecting the ablation of AF. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of cancer on the recurre
