Abstract
Background Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an established treatment option superior to antiarrhythmics (AAs). In this study, we investigated safety and efficacy of RFCA of AF in octogenarians. Methods From our database, we extracted procedural and follow-up data for patients >/= 80 years with symptomatic AF undergoing RFCA and compared this population to RFCA patients /= 80 years (80.5 +/- 1.6 years) were compared to 259 patients aged
