Integrating pre-ablation and post-ablation B-type natriuretic peptide to identify high-risk population for long-term adverse events and arrhythmic recurrence in persistent atrial fibrillation

Background Pre-procedural and post-procedural plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels can predict rhythm outcomes after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the significance of long-term events remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the significance of...
