Association between epicardial adipose tissue and embolic stroke after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Introduction Risk factors of embolic stroke (ES) after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not been fully elucidated especially among the Asian subjects, particularly regarding epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in cardiac imaging. We aimed to assess the incidence of ES during a long‐term follow‐up period after AF ablation and to identify the risk factors associated with postablation ES, specifically focusing on EAT. Methods and Results We...
