Predictors for major adverse events after catheter ablation of
AF
In this study, older age, hypertension, heart failure, old myocardial
infarction, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and larger LAD were independent
factors associated with the major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular
events in AF patients after catheter ablation. These predictors were
independent of AF recurrence and generally concordant with those
identified in the previous studies for AF patients treated without
catheter ablation.27-30
