The usefulness of nifekalant for activation mapping of premature beat-triggered atrial fibrillation: Suppression of atrial fibrillation initiation without inhibiting premature beat

A 66-year-old man underwent a second ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Intravenous isoproterenol administration caused the atrial premature beat (APB), triggering AF. The APB originated in the right atrium and invariably initiated AF. Therefore, contact activation mapping could not be performed...
