Demographics
112 patients were included in the study, 43 CF and 69 control, with
demographics shown in Table 1. A small number of patients had multiple
APs identified, so each pathway was recorded as a separate case for
clarity. Ablations of 126 total aberrant pathways causing SVT were
performed, 49 of which were monitored by real-time contact force
feedback. No initial statistical differences were noted between case and
control cohorts with regards to age, gender, diagnosis, or AP location.
Of note, 5 patients were recorded to have congenital heart disease,
while 19 patients underwent previous ablation with recurrence of their
AP conduction.
