Abstract
Early catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) has been found to be more effective than medical therapy for maintenance of sinus rhythm.1,2 Typically, an AF ablation procedure is scheduled electively after medical optimization; however, there are a subset of previously uncharacterized patients who undergo “urgent” AF ablation during AF-related hospitalization. These patients’ AF episodes are unable to be managed effectively in the outpatient setting, resulting in repeated emergency department visits and an increased rate of health care utilization.
