Impact of Heart Rhythm Status on Registration Accuracy of the Left Atrium for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Registration accuracy is of crucial importance to the successful use of image integration technique to facilitate atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. It is well known that a patient's heart rhythm can switch from sinus rhythm (SR) to AF or vice versa during an AF ablation procedure. However, the impact of the heart rhythm change on the accuracy of left atrium (LA) registration has not been studied.This study included 10 patients who underwent AF...
