“Lone” atrial fibrillation is associated with impaired left ventricular energetics that persist despite successful catheter ablation
Background<br/> “Lone” atrial fibrillation (AF) may reflect a subclinical cardiomyopathy that persists after sinus rhythm (SR) restoration, providing a substrate for AF recurrence. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of restoring SR by catheter ablation on left ventricular (LV)...
