Catheter ablation and healthcare utilization and cost among patients with paroxysmal versus persistent atrial fibrillation
Background: Ablation reduces atrial fibrillation (AF) burden and improves health-related quality of life. The relationship between ablation, healthcare utilization, and AF type (paroxysmal AF [PAF] vs persistent AF [PsAF]) remains unclear. Objective: To compare changes in AF-related healthcare utili...
