Atrial Fibrilation Termination Endpoint
Conditions
Brief summary
Recent data has demonstrated that focal sources are determinant in human atrial fibrillation (AF) perpetuation. The investigators sought to identify crucial areas for AF perpetuation during our routine electrogram (EGM)-based substrate ablation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Atria fibrillation termination during procedure | 240 min | conversion to atrial tachycardia (AT) or sinus rhythm |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Crucial points | 240 min | Crucial points were defined by areas where ablation immediately extended the cycle length\> 20% of AF CL, or regularized Atrial Fibrilation (AF) into Atrial Tachycardia (AT) or converted AF (or AT) into Sinus Rythm |
