Progression of Atrial Fibrillation after Cryoablation or Drug Therapy

J. G. Andrade et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the treatment effect of catheter cryoballoon ablation versus antiarrhythmic drug therapy for initial paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The results showed that in the 3-year follow-up period, the catheter ablation group had a lower incidence of persistent atrial fibrillation and recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmia compared to the drug therapy group. Additionally, the proportion of time in atrial fibrillation was also lower in the ablation group. Therefore, catheter ablation is recommended as the initial treatment for initial paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Influence of Monitoring Strategy on Assessment of Ablation Success and Postablation Atrial Fibrillation Burden Assessment: Implications for Practice and Clinical Trial Design

Martin Aguilar et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify a noninvasive rhythm monitoring strategy that accurately detects arrhythmia recurrences and approximates the atrial fibrillation (AF) burden derived from continuous monitoring. The results showed that most noninvasive monitoring strategies had poor sensitivity for detecting arrhythmia recurrence, while continuous long-term monitoring closely approximated the gold standard implantable cardiac monitor (ICM). Estimated AF burden from short-duration monitors significantly overestimated the true burden in patients with recurrences. Increasing monitoring duration improved the correlation and concordance between noninvasive estimates and the invasive AF burden.

Catheter ablation or medical therapy to delay progression of atrial fibrillation: the randomized controlled atrial fibrillation progression trial (ATTEST)

Karl-Heinz Kuck et al.

Summary: The study indicates that radiofrequency ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug therapy in delaying the progression from paroxysmal to persistent atrial fibrillation. Patients aged 65 and above may have an increased risk of progressing to persistent atrial fibrillation.
