Characteristics of early recurrences detected by continuous cardiac monitoring influencing the long ‐term outcome after atrial fibrillation ablation

ConclusionContinuous cardiac monitoring after AF ablation provides important information regarding early recurrence episodes and their prognostic impact. A cut ‐off of 74 days for the blanking period seems to better differentiate patients with a good or a poor long‐term outcome. An AF burden ≥0.5% during the 3 months post‐ablation is predictive for late arrhythmia recurrences.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
