About this trial
The aim of the study is to assess sex-related differences in patients who underwent a first ablation procedure for paroxysmal or persistent AF, guided by the personalized ablation strategy of the BY-LAWT protocol. Specifically, to compare anatomical characteristics, procedural parameters, and clinical outcomes between sexes.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
