Termination of atrial fibrillation by ablation of high-dominant frequency sites adjacent to epicardial adipose tissue

Termination of atrial fibrillation by ablation of high-dominant frequency sites adjacent to epicardial adipose tissue

We report an interesting case in which atrial fibrillation (AF) was terminated during ablation of high-dominant frequency (DF) sites covered with epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). High-DF sites are known to be related to the center of focal-firing rotors or local reentry circuits. Therefore, this phe...
