Key result
A strategy combining high-density activation mapping and entrainment mapping successfully terminated 96% (25 of 26) of targeted atrial tachycardias developing after atrial fibrillation ablation.
Why the study?
Does a strategy combining high-density activation mapping and entrainment mapping successfully terminate atrial tachycardia after atrial fibrillation ablation?
Observational (n=17)
Does a strategy combining high-density activation mapping and entrainment mapping successfully terminate atrial tachycardia after atrial fibrillation ablation?
A strategy combining rapid high-density activation mapping with entrainment mapping is highly effective for identifying and eliminating scar-related atrial tachycardias following atrial fibrillation ablation.

May inform mapping in select post-AF AT cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Patel et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Atrial tachycardia after atrial fibrillation ablation (n=17). High-density activation mapping (Ensite NavX) and entrainment mapping followed by radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Successful termination of atrial tachycardia by ablation or catheter pressure. A strategy combining high-density activation mapping and entrainment mapping successfully terminated 96% (25 of 26) of targeted atrial tachycardias developing after atrial fibrillation ablation.
