Correlative anatomy for the electrophysiologist: ablation for atrial fibrillation. Part II: regional anatomy of the atria and relevance to damage of adjacent structures during AF ablation.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Recent evidence has demonstrated that defibrillation shocks terminate or reset reentrant activity in the myocardium through the generation of virtual electrode polarization (VEP). Previous research has revealed that the shock establishes phase singularities (PSs) in the tissue via the VEP mechanism. The ai...
