High bi-atrial organization in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation terminated within the left atrium

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Andréa Buttu

Sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) is maintained by sites displaying high dominant frequency (DF). In patients (pts) with long-standing persistent AF (LS-pAF), their spatial distribution and the presence of a left-to-right atrial DF gradient remain poorly ...
