<h4>Background</h4>Effects of nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation (non-PAF) ablation targeting complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) areas and/or low voltage areas (LVAs) are still controversial.<h4>Methods and results</h4>A recently developed online real-time phase mapping system (ExTRa Mapping) was used to conduct LVA mapping and simultaneous ExTRa and CFAE mapping in 28 non-PAF patients after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Nonpassively activated areas, in the form of meandering rotors ...[more]
