May identify patients unlikely to benefit from single-site pacing; hypothesis-generating for electrophysiologic risk stratification in paroxysmal AF.
Does single site atrial pacing prevent symptomatic AF recurrences in patients with paroxysmal AF requiring demand pacing?
Single site atrial pacing reduces AF recurrences in patients with paroxysmal AF, but efficacy is lower in those with greater right atrial conduction delay and refractoriness dispersion.
Stabile et al. (1999) studied this question.
