Abstract Due in large part to the growing dissatisfaction with traditional pharmacologic approaches to atrial fibrillation management , and fueled by both the fruits of basic and clinical investigation into the nature of AF initiation and maintenance and explosive development in catheter- based technology , AF ablation has matured from a purely investigational technique to a viable-and often preferred-strategy for treating patients suffering from this arrhythmia. Future insights and developments will help us refine our treatment strategies , making AF ablation safer , faster , and more effective As the prevalence of AF in the general population continues to expand , the goal of optimizing our napproach to AF becomes ever more important - and more pressing. |
