Distances to EPvar sites are only provided for emergent RDs that did not correspond to an RD observed in the same location in pre-ablation simulations under EPvar conditions, as described by Deng et al.14
EPavg, average AF electrophysiology; EPvar, variable electrophysiology; IVC, inferior vena cava; LA, left atrium; LIPV, left inferior pulmonary vein; LSPV, left superior pulmonary vein; RA, right atrium; RAA, right atrial appendage; RD, re-entrant driver; RIPV, right inferior pulmonary vein; RSPV, right superior pulmonary vein; SVC superior vena cava.
RDs for which activation maps are shown in Figure 4.
Emergent RDs that were completely distinct from any RDs observed in any pre-ablation simulations, regardless of whether they were conducted under either EPavg or EPvar conditions.
