Repetitive conduction patterns in atrial fibrillation (AF) may reflect anatomical structures harbouring preferential conduction paths and indicate the presence of stationary sources for AF. Recently, we demonstrated a novel technique to detect repetitive patterns in high-density contact mapping of AF. As a first step towards repetitive pattern mapping to guide AF ablation, we determined the incidence, prevalence, and trajectories of repetitive conduction patterns in epicardial contact mapping of paroxysmal and persistent AF patients.

人房颤重复传导模式的发生率、患病率和轨迹

心房颤动 (AF) 中的重复传导模式可能反映了具有优先传导路径的解剖结构，并表明存在固定的 AF 源。最近，我们展示了一种新技术来检测 AF 高密度接触映射中的重复模式。作为指导 AF 消融的重复模式映射的第一步，我们确定了阵发性和持续性 AF 患者心外膜接触映射中重复传导模式的发生率、患病率和轨迹。
