98 Predictors of the need for pace & ablate in patients undergoing repeat catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Abstract

Results 129 patients (age 81.1±11.0, male 55%) undergoing GC in 2014-16 (Group A) were compared with 195 patients (age 81.6±1.0, male 49%) from 2018-2020 (Group B) who were assessed using the new algorithm (table 1). Follow up was longer in group A patients (5.99 vs 2.38 years p=<0.001.) 24/195 (12.3%) were upgraded at GC and 171/ 195 (87.7%) had GC only. There was no difference in two-
