Özet

While atrial fibrillation (AF) begets AF via structural, contractile, and electrical remodeling, it was shown that successful radiofrequency ablation of AF has effectively reversed left atrial (LA) remodeling. However, there was little data regarding the efficacy of cryoablation on LA remodeling. Herein, we aimed to assess the impact of cryoablation on LA structural and potential electrical remodeling in paroxysmal AF patients.
