Why the study?
Does a deductive mapping strategy allow for rapid and accurate identification of atrial tachycardia mechanisms following atrial fibrillation ablation?
Does a deductive mapping strategy allow for rapid and accurate identification of atrial tachycardia mechanisms following atrial fibrillation ablation?
A deductive mapping strategy is feasible for identifying postablation atrial tachycardia and highlights localized reentry as a dominant mechanism.
May support deductive mapping for postablation AT; leaves open whether targeting localized reentry improves outcomes.
This prospective study demonstrates the feasibility of rapid and accurate identification of all types of postablation AT in a large cohort of patients and describes the dominant role of localized reentry as a novel mechanism of AT.
