Figure 4. (a) Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia after the non-contact force-guided ablation procedure in patients with early recurrence (ER) in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month post-ablation. (b) Freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia after a contact force (CF)-guided ablation procedure in patients with ER in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month post-ablation. (c) Comparison of atrial tachyarrhythmia-free survival in patients who had ER in the 3rd month, in both CF and Non-CF groups.
