Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, occurring in approximately 2 % of the general population.1–3 A progressive increase in both the prevalence and incidence of AF has been demonstrated in recent years, defining AF as a major economic and public health issue.1
The identification of sites of AF initiation and/or maintenance within…

Catheter ablation is more effective than pharmacological therapy for the secondary prevention of patients with paroxysmal1,2 and persistent3,4 atrial fibrillation (AF) and has an emerging role in the primary prevention of paroxysmal AF.5,6 Nevertheless, in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) its success in treating patients with paroxysmal AF is 40–60% for a single procedure and 70% for multiple…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice. The discovery that pulmonary veins (PV) play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of AF has revolutionised the management of AF. PV isolation has become the most widely used technique for treatment of paroxysmal AF. Since the initial discovery implicating PVs in AF pathogenesis, the mechanistic link between…

Prevalence of AF and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Nonvalvular AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia, affecting nearly 3 million adult Americans.1–4 By 2050, nearly 12–15 million adults in the US will have AF.1 The global prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is also increasing. OSA is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, affecting 10–15% of the general population (6–9% in…

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a complex arrhythmia that leads invariably to cardiac arrest. Its mechanisms remain largely unclear. Similar to atrial fibrillation, the mother rotor hypothesis is one plausible alternative.1,2 In larger animals, some authors reported that the dominant frequency of VF could be recorded at a junction of the left ventricular posterior wall and the septum.3-6 Others…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the world and a leading cause of hospitalisation and death.1 Current therapy for AF remains suboptimal, in large part because its mechanisms are uncertain. However, recent advances in our understanding of human AF, from meticulous mapping in patients and insights from animal models, are providing new therapeutic options for patients.

Since the introduction of electroanatomical mapping (EAM) into clinical practice in 1997, remarkable progress has been made in catheter infrastructure, signal recording and processing, catheter guidance and visualisation and simultaneous real-time depiction and processing of different types of critical information during an ablation procedure.1 The latter, along with the comprehension of the…

Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) classically focuses on eliminating triggers near and from the pulmonary veins, which may initiate AF. However, the 1–2 year success rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains 40–50% for persistent AF1,2 and 50–65% for paroxysmal AF,3–5 while supplementary linear lesions or extensive ablation at electrogram-targets have had disappointing results and may…
