Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Excessive pulsed field ablation (PFA) applications for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been associated with hemolysis-related acute kidney injury (AKI); however, severe AKI can occur when application counts remain within conventional practice ranges. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated baseline patient characteristics associated with postprocedural AKI development after PFA for AF. METHODS:...
