Comparison of artificial intelligence-adjudicated spatiotemporal dispersion in spontaneous vs. induced atrial fibrillation among patients with persistent AF

Le résumé fourni par la source

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard ablation strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), but the best approach for persistent AF (persAF) remains uncertain. It recently has been shown that combining PVI with ablation targeting spatiotemporal electrogram dispersion improves outcomes over PVI alone in persAF patients [ 1 ]. However, it is unclear whether this strategy is applicable to persAF patients presenting in sinus rhythm after cardioversion, where AF induction would be required prior to ablation. This analysis aimed to determine whether spatiotemporal dispersion patterns differ between spontaneous AF (sAF) and induced AF (iAF).
