Effects of Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation ‐Guided Ablation on Atrial Arrhythmia Termination and Inducibility: Impact on Outcomes after Treatment of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
ConclusionA FIRM ‐guided approach was not associated with a significant difference in freedom from AF when compared to conventional ablation. Termination of AF with ablation was not associated with increased freedom from AF. While AF termination using substrate‐based ablation may have mechanistic implications fo r understanding AF rotor physiology, its impact on clinical outcomes remains unclear.This article is protected by copyright.
