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.
