Early catheter ablation improves outcomes in paroxysmal AF

22 Mar 2017Registered users

Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with catheter ablation first line showed significantly better improvement than those treated initially with drug therapy in a multicentre, randomised, unblinded trial. The Medical ANtiarrhythmic Treatment or Radiofrequency Ablation in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (MANTRA-PAF) trial compared radiofrequency catheter ablation with antiarrhythmic drug therapy as first-line treatment for paroxysmal AF.
