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.
