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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who underwent a first ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal or persistent).

Availability of an adequate pre-procedural cardiac CT scan for LAWT, LAV and inFAT analysis.

Availability of complete procedural data, including ablation index (AI) values recorded using the SmartTouch catheter (Biosense Webster).

Availability of 12-month follow-up data for efficacy and safety endpoint evaluation.

Disqualifiers

Age < 18 years.

Previous cardiac ablation (including AF ablation or other arrhythmias).

Incomplete data regarding procedural parameters, or follow-up.

Poor quality pre-procedural cardiac MDCT
