Updated systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of contact force sensing on the safety and efficacy of atrial fibrillation ablation: discrepancy between observational studies and randomized control trial data.

Despite widespread adoption of contact force (CF) sensing technology in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, randomized data suggests lack of improvement in clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of CF-guided vs. non CF-guided AF ablation.
