Abstract
Pulmonary vein isolation has become a first-line treatment for symptomatic drug refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). In the context of PVI procedures, linear ablation lesions are delivered in order to achieve PV isolation. Electrophysiological maps from data collected by high density (HD) grid catheters can be used to identify conduction gaps associated within circumferential pulmonary vein isolation lesions.
