Subspecialty training in preventive cardiology: the current status and discoverable fellowship programs.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ablation procedures in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) includes isolation of all pulmonary veins (PVs). We hypothesized that an approach using an algorithm to detect arrhythmogenic PVs (aPVs) might lead to shorter procedure duration (PD) and fewer proarrhythmic effects (PE). HYPOTHESIS:Is...
