Reappraisal of the clinical implications of adenosine triphosphate in terms of the prediction of reconnection sites in cases with electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins
Dormant conduction (DC) induced by intravenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) after pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) could predict subsequent PV reconnection (RC) sites. This study aimed to investigate the re...
