Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Persistent atrial fibrillation was maintained by the disorganized activation, which was mainly observed over the complex fractionated electrogram (CFAE) region. The CFAE area was caused by the heterogeneous conduction property of the left atrial myocardium and was closely associated with the cardiac pericardial fat tissue. Linear left atrial roof lesion and subsequent CFAE ablation after the pulmonary vein isolation performed in a stepwise fashion was effective for the termination of persistent atrial fibrillation.
