Amit R. Patel,Omid Fatemi,Patrick T. Norton,J. Jason West,Adam S. Helms,Christopher M. Kramer,John D. Ferguson +6 more
TLDR
LA volume changes significantly during the cardiac cycle, and substantial regional variation in LA motion exists, and standard measurements of LA volume significantly underestimate LA(max) compared to the gold standard measure of three-dimensional volumetrics.About:

Koonlawee Nademanee,John McKenzie,Erol M. Kosar,Mark Schwab,Buncha Sunsaneewitayakul,Thaveekiat Vasavakul,Chotikorn Khunnawat,Tachapong Ngarmukos +7 more
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that complex fractionated electrograms recorded during atrial fibrillation could be used as target sites for catheter ablation of AF found areas with CFAEs represent a defined electrophysiologic substrate and are ideal target Sites for ablations to eliminate AF and maintain normal sinus rhythm.

TL;DR: Multiple PV foci are involved in initiation of AF, and elimination of PV muscle conduction is associated with clinical success, and success defined by elimination of AF without drugs was correlated with the procedural end point of the abolition of distal PV potentials.
