Substrate Ablation and Remodelling in Non-paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Summary

The investigators hypothesise that modification of the Atrial Fibrillation (AF) substrate by radiofrequency ablation would improve single procedure success rates for Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) for Non-paroxysmal AF when compared to that achieved with short-term peri-procedural anti-arrhythmic drug therapy alone.
