Abstract 9684: In the Presence of Low Voltage Areas, Substrate Modification Using Contact Force Sensing Adds Efficacy in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

IntroductionAlthough pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) is very effective in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), in patients (pts) with persistent AF, PVI often is not sufficient, and the ideal ablation strategy is still debated. A number of studies suggest that low voltage areas (LVA, i.e. >3...
