Disparities in the access to atrial fibrillation ablation in Denmark: who gets ablated, who neglected?
This study found that women, older patients, patients with lower levels of education, and patients on social benefits are less likely to receive AF ablation. These findings suggest that there are significant social and economic disparities in AF ablation treatment in Denmark.
