Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of therapy for symptomatic AF, improving quality of life and prolonging survival in several populations (1, 2). Nevertheless, the long term success of PVI is still in the range of 40–70% in patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF (3). A better understanding of mechanisms of fibrillatory conduction, beyond targeting the triggers initiating AF; should contribute to the ultimate goal to improve ablation outcomes for AF patients.Spatiotemporal organization or repetitive patterns in AF have been demonstrated in humans using methods incorporating phase analysis such as dominant frequency (4), Shannon entropy (5), ECGi (6), Focal Impulse and Rotor Mapping (FIRM)(7), and electrographic flow mapping (8), proving the presence of both hierarchy and stability during fibrillatory conduction. This motivates current industry and research efforts to identify these areas as adjunctive targets for therapy.
