Description
A K Kahle leads a multicentre registry study of hospitalisations after rhythm control for atrial tachycardia, published in 2026. More than a thousand patients got ablation or electrical cardioversion, then were tracked for cardiovascular admissions over roughly two years. Two thirds needed such a stay, most often because the rhythm problem returned.
Older age, higher body mass, weaker heart pumping, accompanying fibrillation, and certain rhythm features predicted admission in single-factor checks. In the combined model, weak pumping and ablation of reentrant rhythms stayed significant. The authors argue structured risk factor treatment must accompany rhythm control to cut the long-term healthcare burden.
