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).
