Repurposing catheter ablation work-up to detect expiratory airflow limitation in patients with atrial fibrillation

Background: In atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, presence of expiratory airflow limitation may negatively impact treatment outcomes. AF patients are not routinely screened for expiratory airflow limitation, but existing examinations can help identify at-risk individuals. We aimed to assess the diag...
