VIP-AF. Correlation between Voltage and Impedance mapping in Patients affected by Atrial Fibrillation: a further step towards substrate characterization
Anno:
2023
Background. Pulmonary veins isolation (PVI) represents the main strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. Due to the poor clinical outcomes of PVI in case of non-paroxysmal AF, significant efforts have been made to develop new ablative strategies to modify the atrial substrate. Up to now, in order to…
Functional mapping: a new approach for substrate characterization in patients affected by atrial fibrillation
Anno:
2023
Background. The ongoing challenge is to generate meaningful data during electrophysiological (EP) studies, integrating the knowledge on atrial fibrillation (AF) progression gained by the EP community in the latest years. At the present time there is a lack of EP protocols and none of the most used approaches take in consideration…
Double rhythm mapping for coherent electrophysiological substrate characterization in atrial fibrillation patients
Anno:
2023
Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) progresses with a cascade of combined structural, functional, and systemic dysfunctions. Electro-anatomical maps are employed to investigate pro-arrhythmic areas. However, single rhythm maps provide only a partial reconstruction: rhythm and wavefront directionality might mask some of these areas. Purpose. To demonstrate that the combined quantitative analysis of…
