Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and induces cardiac dysfunction and strokes. The development of AF requires a"trigger" and also an electroanatomic "substrate" capable of both initiating and perpetuating AF. Over the past decade, the understanding of the AF substrate properties in both atria has increased with fractionation and frequency analyses of the local atrial electrograms using three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping systems. The purpose of this review was to discuss the differences in the atrial substrate properties in patients with different types of AF.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
