Symptom severity assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation using a smartphone application

EuropacePublished Secondary analysis of the ISOLATION study

Authors' conclusion

Smartphone-based symptom severity assessment after AF ablation is feasible and reveals substantial individual variability beyond rhythm status alone.
