Janice Y. Chyou, MD, FHRS, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is joined by Fred M. Kusumoto, MD, FHRS, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, and Julia H. Indik, MD, PhD, FHRS, University of Arizona Medical Center (CVD) to discuss how Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a chronic progressive disorder. Persistent forms of AF are associated with increased rates of thromboembolism, heart failure, and death. Catheter ablation modifies the pathogenic mechanism of AF progression. No randomized studies have evaluated the impact of the ablation energy on progression to persistent atrial tachyarrhythmia.
