Study Groups

Electrographic Flow™ guided ablation therapy
In addition to standard pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI touch-up, subjects receive targeted radiofrequency source ablation guided by EGF mapping.
Electrographic Flow™ (EGF) mapping and ablation
Electrographic Flow™ (EGF) mapping enables the full spatiotemporal reconstruction of organized atrial electrical wavefront propagation to identify active sources or origins of excitation that may trigger atrial fibrillation (AF).
EGF mapping involves 1 minute recordings of unipolar electrograms from a basket catheter, which are then processed with the EGF algorithm (Ablamap® Software). Several basket catheter positions are acquired in standard positions in both the left and right atria. EGF-identified sources with activity levels exceeding the recommended threshold are deemed significant and are targeted for ablation. The success of the ablation is confirmed through an EGF remap, where elimination of the source is defined as reduction of EGF source activity below the threshold.
