摘要
ECG monitoring after catheter ablation is a necessary part of care of patients with atrial fibrillation. A significant number of patients after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation have sooner or later arrhythmia recurrence. The riskier the patient the bigger the impact of a potential arrhythmia and the more intensive effort to monitor ECG after ablation should be made. An integral part of follow-up of patients after catheter ablation is not only monitoring for potential arrhythmia recurrence but also monitoring for complications of ablation, antiarrhythmic and antithrombotic drugs prescription, influencing of atrial fibrillation development risk factors and considering reablation.
