Crucial Areas on AF Termination

Crucial Areas on Atrial Fibrillation Termination by Substrate Ablation: Relevance to Anatomy

Recent data has demonstrated that focal sources are determinant in human atrial fibrillation (AF) perpetuation.

The investigators sought to identify crucial areas for AF perpetuation during our routine electrogram (EGM)-based substrate ablation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Atria fibrillation termination during procedure
Time Frame: 240 min
conversion to atrial tachycardia (AT) or sinus rhythm
240 min

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Crucial points
Time Frame: 240 min
Crucial points were defined by areas where ablation immediately extended the cycle length> 20% of AF CL, or regularized Atrial Fibrilation (AF) into Atrial Tachycardia (AT) or converted AF (or AT) into Sinus Rythm
240 min
