Role of CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon ablation
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
Pulmonary vein isolation by cryoablation (PVI-C) is a standard therapy for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The CHA2DS2-VASc score is a well-established predictor of AF-related stroke. Whether the CHA2DS2-VASc score can also be useful in predicting the long-term clinical outcomes following PVI-C is still unsettled. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting AF recurrence after PVI-C.
