Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia in adults. Catheter ablation (CA) is one of the most important management strategies to reduce AF burden and AF-associated complications. In order to stratify the risk of adverse events and to predict treatment success in AF patients undergoing CA, several risk stratification scores had been developed during the last decade. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the most important clinical risk scores predicting rhythm outcomes, electro-anatomical substrate and mortality in AF.
