Figure 1. Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after a single ablation procedure with or without contact force (CF) technology. Patients with CF-guided ablation were more likely to achieve long-term ablation success.
Figure 2. Incidence of early recurrence episodes in each month during the blanking period in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablated with and without contact force (CF) technology. In both groups, the incidence of early recurrence (ER) was highest in the 1st month. In each month after ablation, the incidence of ER was higher in the non-CF group.
