Evaluation of a Computed Tomography-based Technique for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Following Ablation Using an Adjusted Skeletal Muscle Index
Low CT-based BMI- or height-adjusted T4-SMIs were risk factors for AF recurrence post-radiofrequency ablation. A lower T4-SMI (height) significantly correlated with AF recurrence post-ablation, regardless of gender, age, or overweight/obesity. The height adjustment performed better than the BMI adjustment in that regard.
