Arrhythmia mechanism dependent pulmonary vein ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Atrial fibrillation (AF) often requires invasive treatment by ablation to decrease symptom burden. The pulmonary veins (PV) are thought to trigger paroxysms of AF, and ablative PV isolation (PVI) is a cornerstone in AF treatment. However, incomplete PVI,

Directed graph mapping shows rotors maintain non-terminating and focal sources maintain self-terminating Torsade de Pointes in canine model

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Torsade de Pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia which is as yet incompletely understood. While the onset of a TdP episode is generally accepted to be caused by triggered activity, the mechanisms for the perpetuation is still under debate.
