Multicentre evaluation of non-invasive biatrial mapping for persistent atrial fibrillation ablation: the AFACART study

Multicentre evaluation of non-invasive biatrial mapping for persistent atrial fibrillation ablation: the AFACART study

Non-invasive electrocardiogram (ECG) mapping allows the activation of the entire atrial epicardium to be recorded simultaneously, potentially identifying mechanisms critical for atrial fibrillation (AF) persistence. We sought to evaluate the utility of ECG mapping as a practical tool prior to ablati...

Zusammenfassung:Non-invasive electrocardiogram (ECG) mapping allows the activation of the entire atrial epicardium to be recorded simultaneously, potentially identifying mechanisms critical for atrial fibrillation (AF) persistence. We sought to evaluate the utility of ECG mapping as a practical tool prior to ablation of persistent AF (PsAF) in centres with no practical experience of the system. A total of 118 patients with continuous AF duration
