Implication

AF complexity subtypes via high-density mapping are hypothesis-generating; leaves open whether they guide ablation or risk stratification.

Population

25 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome undergoing surgery for interruption of their accessory pathway(s)

Intervention

Rapid atrial pacing to induce atrial fibrillation, mapped using a spoon-shaped electrode containing 244 unipolar electrodes on the free wall of the right atrium

Outcome

Patterns of human right atrial (RA) activation during electrically induced atrial fibrillationsurrogate

High-density mapping of electrically induced atrial fibrillation in humans reveals three distinct types of right atrial activation characterized by increasing complexity, frequency, and incidence of reentry.
