The Effects of Pulmonary Vein Isolation on the Dominant Frequency and Organization of Coronary Sinus Electrical Activity During Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

The Effects of Pulmonary Vein Isolation on the Dominant Frequency and Organization of Coronary Sinus Electrical Activity During Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been shown to suppress atrial fibrillation (AF). We examined the effects of PVI on disorganization and dominant frequencies (DF) in patients with permanent AF. Methods and results: Twenty‐eight patients with permanent AF (>6 months) who failed ≥1 ant...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been shown to suppress atrial fibrillation (AF). We examined the effects of PVI on disorganization and dominant frequencies (DF) in patients with permanent AF. Methods and results: Twenty‐eight patients with permanent AF (>6 months) who failed ≥1 antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) and ≥2 cardioversions (CV) with AF reversion
