| 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 higher than those observed during the baseline period 24 to 48 months before ablation (0.124 vs. 0.053 episodes of documented IART per patient-month, p = 0.004; 0.113 vs. 0.050 hospital visits per patient-month,p = 5 0.008). |
| 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 | 0.004 |
| Conclusion | After RF ablation, the frequencies of both reverted to levels higher than those observed during the baseline period 24 to 48 months before ablation (0.124 vs. 0.053 episodes of documented IART per patient-month, p = 0.004; 0.113 vs. 0.050 hospital visits per patient-month,p = 5 0.008). |
