Toward permanent pulmonary vein isolation: The use of adenosine to unmask dormant conduction
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and continues to be a major cause of stroke and hospitalizations worldwide. Seminal observations by Haïssaguerre et al in 1998 on the role of pulmonary vein (PV) triggers in AF led to the development of PV isolation as the cornerstone of ablation for AF. However, this initial enthusiasm has been dampened by the high frequency of PV reconnection, resulting in recurrent AF. Therefore, permanent PV isolation remains the “holy grail” for electrophysiologists. The quest for permanent PV isolation has resulted in the development of numerous techno...
