Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the CAPLA trial, arrhythmia-free survival did not differ between patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with posterior wall isolation (PWI) vs. PVI alone. High AF polygenic risk scores (PRS) have been associated with increased left atrial substrate and arrhythmia recurrence post-ablation. Whether AF patients with high AF-PRS benefit from a...
