Description
Illustrated with annotated multichannel tracings, Pulmonary Vein Recordings is an essential reference for electrophysiologists, fellows in training, and all those involved in the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation. The tracings have been carefully chosen to convey important practical points as well as useful tips, and electrograms from rare and interesting cases are also included. Safe and effective catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is facilitated by a clear understanding of electrogram patterns, including the identification of the endpoint of pulmonary vein isolation.
