Heart Rate Variability After Ablation
Pulsed-field catheter ablation is a promising new treatment method for patients with atrial fibrillation. The mechanism of cell damage here is different from that of classic catheter ablation, in which the ganglion plexuses around the pulmonary veins are also damaged and thus changes in the autonomic nervous system occur. The aim of the work is to find out, using heart rate variability, whether the autonomic system is less affected during pulsed field ablation than in classic radiofrequency ablation.
