Assessment of left atrium voltage mapping in persistent atrial fibrillation reveals significant correlations with age and comorbidities.
Key Points
A statistically significant correlation was found between low-voltage areas and age, emphasizing the relevance of demographic factors.
Low-voltage areas were defined as <0.5 mV, indicating critical thresholds for further assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation.
The study involved 50 patients undergoing their first radiofrequency ablation, contributing to understanding persistent atrial fibrillation management.
An original scale for predicting low-voltage areas was developed, enhancing clinical decision-making for treatment planning.
