- Aggressive risk factor reduction study for atrial fibrillation and implications for the outcome of ablation: the ARREST-AF cohort study. (2014, background): “More concerning is that, despite further ablation and a period without arrhythmia, progressive attrition in success is observed with time (13,14,18).”
- 2012 focused update of the ESC Guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation: an update of the 2010 ESC Guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation--developed with the special contribution of the European Heart Rhythm Association. (2012, background): “Several recent reports demonstrate that late recurrences of AF are common, even when suitable patients with ‘lone’ or ‘almost lone’ AF undergo catheter ablation in experienced centres.(161) –163 The most important predictor for such late recurrence appears to be early recurrence of AF after the abla”
