First Evidence of Endo-Epicardial Asynchrony of the Left Atrial Wall in Humans

Asynchronous activation of the endo-epicardium plays an important role in persistence of atrial fibrillation. So far, endo-epicardial asynchrony has only been demonstrated in the human right atrium. Our data provides the first evidence for existence of a considerable degree of endo-epicardial asynch...
