| Abstract: | Atrial fibrillation (AF), an important public health problem is a complex and multifactorial arrhythmia. Non-pharmacological
treatment for symptomatic patients is of increasing importance. The different catheter ablation techniques in AF treatment
developed during recent years, all based on different pathophysiological insights, are discussed. The non-standardized use
of different follow-up methods after ablation make interpretation and comparison of results difficult. |
