Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The observed complication rate of catheter ablation of AF in patients with HCM was low. Even though the risk of relapse is twofold higher, catheter ablation can be effective in patients with HCM and AF, particularly in patients with paroxysmal AF and smaller atria.
