Po-650-03 improvement in symptoms and quality of life after atrial fibrillation ablation does not differ between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Indications for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in current ACC/HRS and ESC guidelines are different for paroxysmal and persistent AF patients. Although previous research has established that the recurrence rate after AF ablation is lower in paroxysmal AF patients, there is little data on differences in post-ablation improvement of quality of life (QoL) and AF-related symptoms.
