Atrial fibrillation ablation: is common practice far from guidelines' world? The Italian experience from a national survey

, 2022
PURPOSE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1-2% of the general population. Catheter ablation has become an important treatment modality for patients with symptomatic drug-refractory AF.

Efficacy and safety of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in congenital heart disease – A systematic review and meta-analysis

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
Background: Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is on the rise. Anti-arrhythmic drugs are usually the first line of treatment in CHD, however, it is often ineffective and poorly tolerated.
