Dynamics of Intraprocedural Dominant Frequency Identifies Ablation Outcome in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Alain Pithon, Adrian Luca

Background: The role of dominant frequency (DF) in tracking the efficiency of a stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF) remains poorly studied. We hypothesized that the DF time-course during step-CA displays divergent ...

Ventricular response regularity in atrial fibrillation and its relationship to successful catheter ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Adrian Luca

Atrial rate is known to modulate ventricular response during atrial fibrillation (AF). The resulting pulse irregularity translates into widely varying inter-beat intervals (IBIs) extracted from recorded surface electrocardiogram (ECG) activity. In AF, the ...

Severe and uniform bi-atrial remodeling measured by dominant frequency analysis in persistent atrial fibrillation unresponsive to ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Adrian Luca

Background High values of ECG and intracardiac dominant frequency (DF) are indicative of significant atrial remodeling in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF). We hypothesized that patients with peAF unresponsive to ablation display higher ECG and intraca ...

A Non-linear Filter to Detect Atrial Activation from Intracardiac Electrograms

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Sasan Yazdani

Atrial activation (AA) detection during atrial fibrillation (AF) can be considered as a first step in estimating AF characteristics such as the AF cycle length. The detection of AA from intracardiac electrograms (EGM) remains challenging due to the constan ...
