Summary

This study tested whether showing patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) simple visual charts about common post-ablation symptoms helps them make more confident treatment decisions. 75 adults with symptomatic AF who were considering catheter ablation used these decision aids during their doctor visit. The goal was to see if patients felt less conflicted, less regretful, and more satisfied with their choice.
