Arrhythmia recurrence after atrial fibrillation ablation: can magnetic resonance imaging identify gaps in atrial ablation lines?

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Immediate reinitiation of atrial tachyarrhythmia (IRAT) is an important cause of failure to maintain sinus rhythm. IRAT prevention by overdrive pacing has not been evaluated in a prospective randomized trial. METHODS AND RESULTS:Patients with a DDDRP pacemaker offering temporary atrial overdrive pacing af...
