Predictors of ERATs
AI-guided PVI, sex, LA diameter, and type of AF were independent
predictors of ERAT. It has been reported that the AF duration, non-PAF,
history of hypertension, LA enlargement, and lack of an SVC isolation
were predictors of ERAT.17 There are few reports about
the correlation between ERATs and a female sex. However, several reports
have demonstrated that a female sex is a predictor of an arrhythmia
recurrence after a PVI. 18,19 We consider that a
female sex could be a risk factor of ERAT as well as of a late
recurrence.
