Summary

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ablation is typically performed in predefined anatomic regions of the left atrium without attempting to identify patient-specific areas of interest. This procedure is referred to as Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI).

The hypothesis in this Study is that a tailored ablation strategy targeting areas of spatio-temporal dispersion in combination with PVI is superior to an anatomical ablation strategy targeting PVI alone for the treatment of persistent AF.
