Key result
Novel software automatically detects critical isthmus fractionation in ~91% of atypical atrial flutters.
Why the study?
Critical isthmuses of atypical atrial flutters usually locate at slow conduction areas with fractionated electrograms, leading researchers to test novel software automatically detecting fractionated electrograms to identify the critical isthmus.
Does a novel software for automatic detection of fractionated electrograms accurately identify the critical isthmus in patients with atypical atrial flutter?
Observational (n=27)
Does a novel software for automatic detection of fractionated electrograms accurately identify the critical isthmus in patients with atypical atrial flutter?
A novel software automatically detecting fractionated electrograms successfully identified the critical isthmus in 91% of atypical atrial flutters, potentially aiding clinical ablation procedures.
May aid atypical flutter mapping; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Franco et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Atypical atrial flutters (n=27). Novel software for automatic detection of fractionated electrograms was evaluated on Identification of areas of fractionation at the critical isthmus of the atypical atrial flutters. A novel software automatically detected areas of fractionation at the critical isthmus in 91% (30 of 33) of atypical atrial flutters.
