Preprocedural Troponin T Levels Predict the Improvement in the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter

Preprocedural Troponin T Levels Predict the Improvement in the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter

Background Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is reversible in some patients once the arrhythmia is controlled. However, identifying this arrhythmia‐induced cardiomyopathy among patients with LV systolic dysfunction is challenging. We explored the factors predicting the reversibility of the...
