May support voltage-guided ablation in persistent AF; leaves open randomized confirmation of outcome benefit.
Does tailored atrial substrate modification based on low-voltage areas in addition to circumferential pulmonary vein isolation improve 12-month outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation?
A tailored voltage-based approach for substrate modification alongside pulmonary vein isolation may improve outcomes for AF patients with endocardial structural defects.
