Background: Ventricular fibrillation is routinely induced during implantable cardioverter-
-defibrillator insertion to assess defibrillator performance, but this strategy is experiencing
a progressive decline. We aimed ...
BACKGROUND Empiric circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) has become the therapy of choice for drugrefractory
atrial fibrillation (AF). Although results are suboptimal, it is unknown whether mechanistically-based ...
Aims Research on paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) assumes that fibrillation induced by rapid pacing adequately reproduces spontaneously occurring paroxysmal AF in humans. We aimed to compare the spectral properties of ...
Objectives: The aim of this paper was to study mechanisms of formation of fractionated electrograms on the posterior left atrial wall (PLAW) in human paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Background: The mechanisms responsible ...
[EN] Background¿ Ventricular fibrillation (VF) has been proposed to be maintained by localized high-frequency sources. We tested whether spectral-phase analysis of the precordial ECG enabled identification of periodic ...
