Why the study?
Does shorter electrogram recording duration accurately characterize CFAE and DF sites compared to 8-second recordings in patients with AF undergoing ablation?
Does shorter electrogram recording duration accurately characterize CFAE and DF sites compared to 8-second recordings in patients with AF undergoing ablation?
Electrograms of at least 5 seconds are required to accurately characterize complex fractionated atrial electrograms and dominant frequency sites for AF ablation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Shorter electrogram recordings risk inaccurate CFAE/DF characterization in AF ablation; leaves open prospective validation of optimal duration and outcomes.
Stiles et al. (2008) studied this question.
