Temporal Changes in Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Left Atrial Substrate After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Implications for Procedural Success

Temporal Changes in Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Left Atrial Substrate After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Implications for Procedural Success

Background Ganglionated plexi (GPs) within epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) are involved in the initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the effects of catheter ablation on EAT volume and GP activity remain unclear. Methods A prospective 2‐part study was conducted. Study 1 included...
