Patient characteristics and procedure details:
Colchicine was used after AF ablation in 1228 cases (78%). Patients who
were prescribed colchicine were older (67 vs 63 years; p
<0.001), had a higher incidence of hypertension (60% vs 54%,
p=0.033), and had a lower incidence of paroxysmal AF (70 vs. 82 %; p
<0.001, Table 1). There was no significant difference in left
atrial diameter between the two groups (4.30 vs. 3.85 cm, p value =
0.2).
