ACTIVATION MAPPING OF LOCALIZED RE-ENTRY TRIGGERING THE ATRIAL FIBRILLATORY ACTIVITY
Abstract
A clinical case is given of assessment and treatment of a 62 year old female patient with paroxysmal atrialfibrillation, in whom, after the pulmonary vein isolation, activation mapping of localized re-entry triggering the atrial fibrillation activity was made; radiofrequency applications in this area terminated the arrhythmia.
