Comparison of Ablation vs. Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
In a follow-up analysis of the EARLY-AF trial, patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were studied after cryoablation or antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Results showed lower incidence of persistent atrial fibrillation in the ablation group over 3 years, with fewer adverse events. Atrial fibrillat
