Effect of epicardial fat volume on outcomes after left atrial posterior wall isolation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Effect of epicardial fat volume on outcomes after left atrial posterior wall isolation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

BackgroundGreater epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is related to higher recurrences after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA). We investigated the effects of posterior wall box isolation (POBI) in conjunction with circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) on rhythm outcomes according t...
