Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A map of fractionated potentials will be used during an atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation to define the area typically ablated during pulmonary vein antrum isolation using the Diagnostic Landmark Map. The procedure will take no more than 30 minutes.
Intervention code [1] 3993 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
none
Control group
Uncontrolled

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5375 0
Pulmonary vein atrum isolation: disappearance of all local potentials in the areas of the pulmonary vein antrum defined by early activation in sinus rhythm and during coronary sinus (CS) pacing and by the presence of fractionated potentials. This will be assessed using a circular mapping catheter.
Timepoint [1] 5375 0
baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post procedure.
Secondary outcome [1] 9038 0
Flouroscopy duration measured by the timer on the flouroscopy machine
Timepoint [1] 9038 0
at completion of procedure

Eligibility

-able to achieve and maintain stable sinus rhythm during the mapping procedure
-be on therapeutic level of anticoagulation as determined by the physician
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
-Patients with left atrial thrombus or heavy echo contrast on trans-esophageal echo (TEE) prior to the procedure as per physician discretion and standard of care
-Chronic atrial fibrillation
