Long‐Term Outcome of Radiofrequency Versus Pulsed‐Field Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Aged More Than 60 Years Undergoing Their First Catheter Ablation
PFA was associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate in patients > 60 years of age with more comorbidities compared to RFA. However, in patients aged ≤ 60 years, no difference in RFA vs. PFA in terms of recurrence rate was observed. Mean time to recurrence was comparable between PFA and RFA subgroups in the group 1 population, whereas it was significantly higher in group 2 PFA vs. RFA subgroup.
