Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a European observational multicentre study

ConclusionVery late AF relapses post-ablation is common in HCM patients, especially in those with persistent AF. Left atrium size, LV apical aneurysm, and the APPLE score might contribute to identify subjects at higher risk of arrhythmia recurrence. First-time cryoballoon is comparable with radiofrequency ablation.
