Catheter ablation for AF induced different geometrical changes on the LA and the PVs, therefore influencing flow mixing and vortex patterns in the LA, in addition to overall velocity and WSS distribution. Further exploration of the impact of catheter ablation on intracardiac flow dynamics is warranted to discern patterns that may correlate with clinical outcomes.
