In the left antrum, there was a correlation between electrophysiologic (RoC) and anatomic (long segment) properties. The observation in both antra that RoC often occurred in previously unablated areas suggested that, as an alternative to recovery of ablated myocardium, a second mechanism of RoC was plausible: conduction via unablated myocardium, which was not immediately manifest. These observations have compelled us to modify our circumferential lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
