IAB is highly prevalent in patients with obesity and AF. Partial IAB, defined as PWD ≥ 120 ms, and advanced IAB with evidence of biphasic P-wave in inferior leads were independently associated with increased risk of recurrent arrhythmia after AF ablation. Its predictive value is independent of other traditional risk factors, LAVI, or use of AADs.
