Theoretically, targeting the same ablation index (AI) using higher power may achieve the same lesion size with a shorter ablation time. We evaluated the acute and long-term efficacy of higher-powered ablation guided by ablation index (HPAI) compared with conventional-powered ablation guided by AI (CPAI) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
