Author's reply to Reconsidering the reconsideration of the multiple wavelet hypothesis.
First, the objective of our study was to evaluate the Moe/Abildskov multiple wavelet hypothesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) by applying the same methods and criteria used by Allessie et al.1 to our more extensive, simultaneous, bi-atrial mapping data of the original Moe/Abildskov model.2 Our data show that in contrast to their prediction, focal sources drove the atria, thereby maintaining AF.
