![]() ![]() ![]() Redo AF ablation were done for four patients in the old group and one patient in the young group. ![]() No complications were recorded in both groups. All patients were followed up for 1 year 1-year arrhythmia-free survival after a single procedure was 83.3% (25/30) and 78.3% (36/46) in the older group. The presence of low-voltage areas was found only in 22% of the older population group and not in the younger group. Body mass index, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and left atrial volume were higher in the older population group. Recurrence was defined as any AF/atrial tachycardia episode > 30 s following a 3-month blanking period. Follow-up was based on outpatient visits including 24 h Holter, ECG at 3, 6, and, 12 months post single ablation procedure. Clinical data before and during the procedure were recorded. They were divided into the two groups, young population group (mean age 31.6 ± 4.2 years, 77% men) and older population group (mean age 49 ± 8.4 years, 74% men). Seventy-six consecutive patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) at Ain Shams University Hospitals from 2013 till 2016. The aim is to assess procedural characteristics and clinical outcome of catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in young adults in comparison to older adults. Data on procedural characteristics and clinical outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults younger than 35 years has not been sufficiently addressed. ![]()
