2 Figure 1 Follow-up of the FreezeAF trial. Blanking period: 3 months. Clinical visits include an interview, ECG, and Holter ECG. Earliest date for redo procedure: 6 months after index procedure. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)/CT scans: 3 months after last ablation procedure. Seven-day Holter ECG: 6 and 12 months after index procedure.
