Abstract:Background
Pulmonary vein isolation using cryoablation is effective and safe in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although both obesity and underweight are associated with a higher risk for incident AF, there is limited data on the efficacy and safety following cryoablation according to body mass index (BMI) especially in Asians.
Methods
Using the Korean Heart Rhythm Society Cryoablation registry, a multicenter registry… Show more
