Absence of detectable effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for breast cancer on the presence of low voltage areas in patients receiving left atrial catheter ablation.

CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic irradiation and chemotherapy for breast cancer do not lead to an increase in LA scar area or a changed distribution of LA scarring. However, patient with breast cancer showed a tendency towards greater LA scar areas. Patient's age and LA volume index were identified as independent predictors for LA scar development.
