Left Atrial Appendage Volume As a New Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation

PURPOSE: Recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation is common, being clinically relevant to identify predictors of recurrence. The left atrial appendage (LAA) role as an AF trigger is scarcely explored. Our aim was to identify if LAA volume is an independent predictor of AF recur...
