Localized Pulmonary Vein Scar Promotes Atrial Fibrillation in High Left Atrial Pressure
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein (PV) ablation is unsuccessful in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with high left atrial (LA) pressure. Increased atrial stretch by increased pressure is proarrhythmic for AF, and myocardial scar alters wall deformation. We hypothesized that localized PV scar is proarrhyth...
