DOI: 10.1002/clc.23163
Abstract: Cryoballoon isolation is considered a safe and effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, recurrence of AF after first cryoballoon ablation occurs in ~30% of patients. Pre‐procedurally identifying patients at risk of AF recurrence could… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23904
Abstract: Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is recommended for patients with symptomatic drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF). However, substantial atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence is common during follow‐up. Searching for a potential biomarker representing both myocardial injury and… read more here.
