Localized rotors and focal impulse sources within the left atrium in human atrial fibrillation: A phase analysis of contact basket catheter electrograms

Background: Consistent detection of rotor(s) and/or focal impulse(s) of atrial fibrillation can using a 64-pole basket catheter remain unclear. Methods and results: Intracardiac left atrial electrograms were recorded, prior to ablation, in 20 patients with atrial fibrillation. Unipolar electrograms,...
