Full Description
The authors describe a pragmatic approach to the targeting of such electrograms, and provide their interpretation of the mechanisms underlying specific activation patterns. This interpretation is confirmed in most cases by successful local ablation, as defined by a change in atrial fibrillation cycle length or termination of atrial fibrillation. This book provides a detailed, well-illustrated guide which students will find indespensible.
