| Factor | the frequency of episodes of documented IART per patient-month after RF ablation |
| Description | After RF ablation, the frequencies of both reverted to levels lower than those observed during the 24-month preablation period (0.124 vs. 0.224 episodes of documented IART per patient-month, p = 0.005; 0.113 vs.0.216 hospital visits per patient-month, p = 0.003). |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A6 (clinical factor - other) |

| Application | risk assessment |
| Objective | The objective of the study was to determine the early and midterm success rates of RF ablation in effecting a reduction of clinical arrhythmic events in patients with IART and CHD. |
| p Value | 0.005 |
| Conclusion | After RF ablation, the frequencies of both reverted to levels lower than those observed during the 24-month preablation period (0.124 vs. 0.224 episodes of documented IART per patient-month, p = 0.005; 0.113 vs.0.216 hospital visits per patient-month, p = 0.003). |
