Validation of success following atrial fibrillation ablation: a European survey

Franck Halimi1,*, Lieselot Van Erven2 on behalf of the EHRA Scientific Initiatives Committee (SIC)

This survey sampled the follow-up (FU) strategies for atrial fibrillation ablation used by electrophysiology/ablation centres in Europe. Currently, FU relies on symptoms and short-term ECG recordings rather than monitoring by implantable devices. The responding centres show a lack of confidence in the long-term success after ablation, and confusion about definition of success which needs to be informed by updated European guidelines.

Key Words: Atrial fibrillation, Catheter ablation, Monitoring, Holter
