Wavelength and Fibrosis Affect Phase Singularity Locations During Atrial Fibrillation

Wavelength and Fibrosis Affect Phase Singularity Locations During Atrial Fibrillation

The mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, remain elusive. Atrial fibrosis plays an important role in the development of AF and rotor dynamics. Both electrical wavelength (WL) and the degree of atrial fibrosis change as AF progresses. Ho...
