Atrial fibrillation recurrence risk after single catheter ablation in patients with history of hyperthyroidism: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmias. Other than pharmacotherapy, catheter ablation is preferred especially for symptomatic paroxysmal AF or persistent AF. However, recurrence of atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation can occur due to several factors. Hyperthyroidism is known as a factor in atrial fibrillation pathogenesis but its role in AF recurrence following ablation is not known yet. Therefore, we aimed to assess the recurrence risk after catheter ablation in patients with a history of hyperthyroidism.

Methods

Systematic searching was performed through three databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS for studies reporting the recurrence of AF (hazard ratio) following catheter ablation in patients with a history of hyperthyroidism. The
