Objective. Until now, few factors have been identified to predict successful pulmonary vein isolation, none of which with high predictive values. The objective of our study was to compare different predictive factors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation, including new parameters of the right atrium (area and index volume). Methods. We retrospectively analysed data from 66 patients and included echocardiogram parameters performed within 18 months prior to the ablation procedure. We excluded patients with left ventricular dysfunction (defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction
