| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanisms underlying complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE)-targeted chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) ablation are poorly understood. To provide theoretical bases for the CAF ablation strategies, we developed a computer model of human CAF, conducted simulation of CFAE, and tried to propose optimal strategy for the CAF ablation. Then we found that fibroblast proliferation in atria causes the sustainment of the rotors (spiral wave reentries) during CAF, and success or failure of CAF ablation is determined by the balance of rotor increase or decrease. In addition, the knowledge obtained in this study was applied to the development of real-time phase mapping system of human CAF.
