The Physiological Effects of Pacing on Catheter Ablation Procedures to Treat Atrial Fibrillation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

This is a two arm randomized, paired prospective study comparing the percentage of time spent above Contact Force (CF), Force Time Integral (FTI) and other lesion parameters in the setting of pacing versus non-pacing. This study is designed to compare the percentage of time spent above CF 10 grams between paced and non-paced lesions at 15 pre-determined lesion locations.
