Atrial Structural Remodeling in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Is a Diffuse Fibrotic Process: Evidence From High‐Density Voltage Mapping and Atrial Biopsy

BACKGROUND: Low‐voltage areas (LVAs) in the atria of patients with atrial fibrillation are considered local fibrosis. We hypothesized that voltage reduction in the atria is a diffuse process associated with fibrosis and that the presence of LVAs reflects a global voltage reduction. METHODS AND RESUL...
