The Predictive Value of Real-World Cardiologist Performance (RWCP) Score in Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Risk After Radiofrequency Ablation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the predictive value of Real-world Cardiologist Performance (RWCP) score for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence risk after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).

Methods

Patients with nonvalvular AF who underwent first-time RFCA at Luoyang Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University between October 2021 and June 2023 were included in this study. Detailed ablation data were exported from CARTO®3 system (Biosense Webster, USA), based on which, four parameters, including discharge time proportion, Catheter Contact Force Stability (C3-FOT proportion), Ablation Index Consistency (SURPOINT/TOP-4 proportion) and fragmented points proportion, were calculated. Then, the RWCP score was calculated from these parameters for each patient. Predictive value
