AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. It is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure (HF), and is a significant global health challenge.1 Catheter ablation procedures, which isolate the pulmonary veins (PV) from the left atrium and prevent AF initiation, are effective and safe treatment options, and have emerged as the preferred rhythm control…

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…

Catheter ablation is an established treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF).1-3 Pulmonary vein (PV) angiography has been the initial imaging tool in AF ablation and is still used by up to 50 % of leading electrophysiologists.3 PV angiography still plays a major role in balloon-based ablation techniques routinely performed without electroanatomical mapping (EAM)…

Percutaneous catheter treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) has seen an exponential uptake since the first cases were published exactly two decades ago.1 Evolving over different approaches and treatment strategies, current standard of care consists of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) through radiofrequency (RF) or other energy sources. While this treatment has been shown to be superior to…

Catheter ablation has moved from ablation of ‘simple’ substrates like accessory pathways,1 atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardias (AVNRTs)2 and re-entrant or focal tachycardia (of either ventricular or atrial origin)3–5 in recent years to more complex arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation.6–8 Even patients with complex congenital heart disease that may…

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…
