Box Isolation of fibrotic areas: A substrate modification approach in atrial fibrillation patients

Show other versions (1)

In the last years, atrial fibrosis was shown to be an independent predictor of procedural failure in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. Ablation strategies have been developed to improve the outcome of catheter ablation by targeting detected areas of fibrosis, based either...
