Combined electrophysiological and anatomical parameters to predict AF recurrence The ratio of oesophageal lead DACL to left atrial diameter was higher in patients who remained in sinus rhythm at 6 weeks, 3.5 ± 0.6 ms/mm, than in those who reverted to AF, who had a mean ratio of 3.1 ± 0.4 ms/mm with borderline significance (p = 0.05).

Our study found a trend for atrial diameter to be greater in patients who ultimately relapsed back into AF, but this failed to reach statistical significance.
