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
