The usefulness of catheter ablation even in patients with myocardial impairment: Myocardial extracellular volume assessed by preablation planning computed tomography cannot predict atrial fibrillation recurrence
CT-ECV was not significantly associated with AF recurrence within 400 days after the first CA. Regardless of the severity of ventricular myocardial damage, CA for AF is beneficial for preventing AF and improving cardiac function.
