Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with
increased risk of heart failure, stroke, and death. In current medical practice, multimodality …

Introduction The role of the spatial relationship between the left superior pulmonary vein
(LSPV) and left atrial appendage (LAA) is unknown. We sought to evaluate whether an …

Nowadays, a novel contact-force guided ablation technique is used for enclosing pulmonary
veins in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine whether left atrial (LA) …

BACKGROUND: High-power short-duration ablation has shown impressive efficacy and
safety for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI); however, initial efficacy results with very high …

Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of rhythm-control therapy for atrial
fibrillation (AF). The very high-power, short-duration (vHPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablation …

Background The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential relationship
between anatomical characteristics of pulmonary veins (PVs) and atrial fibrillation …

Aims To identify predictors of individual late pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection after second-
generation cryoballoon (CB2) ablation. Anatomic indicators of late pulmonary vein …

Background: Despite the significant advances made in the field of computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) to simulate the left atrium (LA) in atrial fibrillation (AF) conditions, the …

Although pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation;
no data exist comparing the PV anatomy between the AF subtypes directly. We aimed to …

心房颤动(atrial fibrillation, AF) 是临床中最常见的心律失常之一, 致死率及致残率较高. 近年来,
在导管消融等手术的帮助下, 部分患者术后可维持窦性心律, 达到根治房颤的效果 …
