In this study, Staubach et al. [1] report the prevalence of new atrial fibrillation after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. The induction of atrial arrhythmias after the implantation of a device which could potentially affect atrial remodeling is a biologically plausible one and this
## Abstract **Objectives:** To compare preβ and postβprocedure electrocardiograms (ECGs) in a large cohort of patients after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO). **Background:** Percutaneous device closure of ASD or PFO is commonplace. Conduction and rh
