Diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) share pathophysiological links, as supported by the high prevalence of AF within DM patients. Catheter ablation of AF (AFCA) is an established therapeutic option for rhythm control in drug resistant symptomatic patients. Its efficacy and safety among patients with DM is based on small populations, and long-term outcome is unknown. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess safety and long-term outcome of AFCA in DM patients, focusing on predictors of recurrence.
