Localization of the initial fibrillatory cycle in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest the presence of conduction delay in the posterior septal region during sinus rhythm in patients with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE: To explore the location of intra-atrial conduction delay associated with initiation of AF. DESIGN: In 8 lone AF patients (51 +/- 10 years), 20 AF paroxysms were induced during electrophysiological examination. B
