• 2017 HRS/EHRA/ECAS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (2017, background): “Investigators described preexistent LA scarring in patients undergoing PVI as an independent predictor of procedural failure.(558) Low voltage for abnormal areas in their study was also defined as an amplitude <_0.”
• Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in heart failure. (2013, background): “Thus, the presence of atrial structural remodeling, in particular atrial fibrosis, is associated with poorer outcomes after catheter ablation because of a favorable substrate for the maintenance of reentry circuits and sites for non-PV ectopy and could explain the higher recurrence rates of AF in pa”
