Implication

Nonlinear metrics may refine AF subtype classification; leaves open their utility for mapping-guided ablation in clinical practice.

Structured PICO

Population

9 patients undergoing open chest surgery with electrically induced atrial fibrillation (AF type I, n=3; type II, n=3; type III, n=3)

Intervention

Nonlinear analysis of unipolar epicardial right atrial electrograms (Grassberger-Procaccia method and surrogate data method)

Outcome

Correlation dimension and correlation entropy of electrogramssurrogate

Nonlinear analysis of epicardial electrograms can discriminate between different types of electrically induced atrial fibrillation based on spatiotemporal complexity.
