2 Figure 1 Flow diagram for initiation of rhythm or catheter ablation in symptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation as a first-line therapy is typically for patients with heart failure and tachycardiomyopathy. Catheter ablation may also be performed if pharmacotherapy is initiated but fails. CAD = coronary artery disease; HFpEF = heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF = heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy.

3 Figure 2 Catheter ablation of triggering foci around the pulmonic veins. IVC = inferior vena cava; L. = left; LV = left ventricle; n. = nerve; R. = right; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle; SVC = superior vena cava; v. = vein.
