In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder. While catheter ablation is an effective treatment, many patients still experience AF recurrence after the procedure. One major reason is that the mechanisms that maintain AF are not fully understood. Research suggests that the outer layer of the heart (epicardium) may play an important role in keeping AF going. However, current mapping techniques have limitations in detecting electrical signals from both the inner and outer heart layers. This study uses a different technique called unipolar voltage mapping, which may more accurately capture electrical signals from both heart layers. Specifically, we focus on a specific type of electrical signal called "QS potential" on unipolar mapping, which reflects breakthrough sites between the inner and outer heart layers. In this interventional study, participants with AF undergoing cath
