Background Previous studies have identified noninvasive methods for predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation (CA). We assessed the association between AF recurrence and atrial late potentials (ALPs), which were measured using P‐wave signal‐averaged electrocardiography (...
