The architecture of the left lateral atrial wall: a particular anatomic region with implications for ablation of atrial fibrillation.

abstract：:From 1978 to 1980, 260 healthy subjects, 40-79 years of age, underwent 24 h ambulatory electrocardiography in order to determine the prevalence and complexity of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) in adults without apparent heart disease. The number of types of VPBs seem in 5% or less were considered 'abnormal' and th...
