Sex Disparity in Referral for Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation at a Single Integrated Health System

<h4>Background</h4> Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFCA) is indicated for select patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and has been shown to reduce AF burden and improve quality of life.
