High-density Mapping-guided bOx Isolation and subsTrate Ablation (HOT)

Study of High-density Mapping-guided bOx Isolation and subsTrate Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

This study evaluates the efficacy of high-density mapping guided atrial substrate ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. 1/5 of the patients with persistent atrial fibrillation undergo pulmonary veins isolation, 2/5 of them pulmonary veins and box isolation while others undergo atrial substrate ablation apart from pulmonary veins and box isolation.

12 months
Stroke or embolic events
Time Frame: 12 months
History of stroke or embolic events is taken at each follow-up during the period of 12 months after procedure, and if necessary, radiographic examinations will be performed.
12 months
Atrial fibrosis
Time Frame: 1 day
Atrial substrate mapping is performed before and after catheter ablation in one day to evaluate the atrial fibrosis.
