Distinct localized reentrant drivers in persistent atrial fibrillation identified by noninvasive mapping: relation to f-wave morphology

Abstract

Noninvasive mapping overcomes previous barriers to provide panoramic beat-to-beat mapping during atrial fibrillation (AF). This article demonstrates the utility of noninvasive mapping in identifying localized driving sources in persistent AF. Reentrant driver activity detected by noninvasive mapping from specific regions correlated with distinct f-wave morphologies. Ablation targeting these drivers resulted in progressive AF cycle length prolongation and termination of the arrhythmia.

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.

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.
