Measure
FIRM-Guided
Consecutive cases of patients undergoing Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation ablation in addition to Conventional Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)
CONVENTIONAL
Consecutive cases of patients undergoing Conventional Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but being mapped (Focal Impulse and Rotor Mapping) with basket catheters to identify localized rotational or focal sources. FIRM mapping is performed before ablation, but analysis of maps are performed post-hoc and PVI is blinded to the results from FIRM mapping.
