Сomparative efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation vs rotor ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation: mid-term results
Progression of atrial fibrillation in most cases leads to persistent and long persistent forms. It's significantly worsens the quality of life and the prognosis of patients. Various methods have been proposed for the treatment. All of them are aimed at restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm. The most interesting in our opinion is the focal impulse and rotor modulation. We compared the efficacy of the PVI procedure and the PVI procedure supplemented focal impulse and rotor modulation which was detected by noninvasive mapping in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.
