Abstract
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Success is associated with autonomic function modulation; however, the relationship between the changes after ablation is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the effect of ablation on autonomic modulation by skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) using conventional electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and to predict the treatment success.
