🕐 Timing matters in AF ablation.
Early ablation (≤ 1 year after dx) lowered AF-recurrence
risk by 22 % in HFrEF and 17 % in HFpEF,

PWI is definitely not appropriate for all patients with persistent AF. It has been shown to be effective in some cases (low/fractionated voltage, high burden of spatiotemporal dispersion) but in select trials without replication. Persistent AF is an area ripe for continued investigation w/ #AI and advanced signal/vector analysis. We will almost certainly find that a ‘tailored’ / individualized approach is better than one size fits all.

PVI+ is the one area where RCTs have been unable to supercede anecdotes – because operator bias is so powerful.
Only two randomized trials have shown efficacy beyond PVI (CONVERGE and VENUS), yet only a minority have adopted. And multiple PWI studies show no systematic benefit when applied widely, yet the majority continue to do so in persistent patients.
The time is ripe for personalization targeting individual mechanisms, as one size has been proven to not fit all.

🎓"Adverse Effect of Ventricular Rate Regularization Pacing in Biventricular Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy" by Chu-Pak Lau et al
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
A 72 y.o. man with a CRT-D developed acute HF due to biventricular pacing tachycardia > 100/min. Frequent ventricular ectopics activated ventricular rate stabilisation for rate smoothing which paradoxically worsened heart failure.
