Relationship between amiodarone response prior to ablation and 1-year outcomes of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Failure to restore and maintain sinus rhythm with amiodarone before ablation for either PAF or persAF is not a predictor of ablation procedural failure. Amiodarone failure alone should not deter practitioners from considering ablation therapy for patients with AF.
