- Abstract
Spectral analysis of atrial signals has been used to identify regions of interest in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship to the atrial substrate is unclear. In this study, we compare regions with dominant frequency (DF), simultaneously determined in the left atrium (LA) by a novel noncontact mapping system using unipolar charge density signals, to the zones of slow conduction (SZ) during AF.In 19 AF patients the conduction during AF was assessed by a validated algorithm and SZ compared to the DF and the DF ratio between the DF peak and the area under the total spectrum (DFR). The results were compared in five different regions of the LA. The reproducibility of SZ location at different time measurements was higher than for DF or DFR. The SZs are mainly confined at the anterior and posterior wall of the LA. There was no statistically significant correlation between SZ and DF or DFR across the atrium.
