LA functional improvement evaluated by LASr was non-inferior after PVI with additional LA ablation lesions compared to PVI alone. These findings were confirmed when adjusted for confounding clinical variables, suggesting that more extensive ablation does not negatively affect LA function. This article is protected by copyright.
