Efficacy and safety of high‐power short duration atrial fibrillation ablation in elderly patients

Efficacy and safety of high‐power short duration atrial fibrillation ablation in elderly patients

Introduction Data about atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using high‐power short duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation in the elderly population is still scarce. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of HPSD ablation in patients over 75 years compared to younger patients....

Zusammenfassung:Introduction Data about atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using high‐power short duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation in the elderly population is still scarce. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of HPSD ablation in patients over 75 years compared to younger patients. Methods Consecutive patients older than 75 years with paroxysmal or persistent AF undergoing a first‐time AF ablation using 50 W HPSD ablation approach were analyzed in this retrospective observational analysis and compared to a control group
