Abstract

Importance: Ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenge. Left atrial fibrosis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of AF and has been associated with poor procedural outcomes. Objective: To investigate the efficacy and adverse events of targeting atrial fibrosis det...
