Relationship between wait-times and post-atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes: a population based study

Rhythm control is a cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) management. Shorter time between diagnosis of AF and receipt of catheter ablation is associated with greater rates of therapy success. Prior work considered diagnosis-to-ablation time as a binary or categorical variable and did not consider the unique risk profile of patients once a referral for ablation is made.
