Mapping the Functional Phenomena in the Left Atrium in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation. (Conventionally, 3D) Delivering an extrastimulus from coronary sinus every three sinus beats can be interesting. Conventionally. By simply observing the electrograms and the response

Functional phenomena predict recurrences of #AtrialFibrillation— finally on-line #HeartRhythmJ! One of our key discoveries is that many of these functional phenomena have normal bipolar voltage and are strongly linked to extracardiac structures (aorta and esophagus). Link
