Abstract : This study shows a new concept of Atrial Fibrillation physiopathology providing understanding of several types of AF and of the AF substratum even in normal heart. These new concepts allow AF ablation during sinus rhythm with high success rates even in persistent and permanent AF. - Slides    less
