Our project aims to shed the light on the mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is the most common sustained heart rhythm abnormality and contributes to a significant socioeconomical burden on the healthcare system. We plan to use mapping catheters to record and analyse electrical signals from the small chambers of the heart in patients with atrial fibrillation. The results will contribute to improvements in our current approach in AF ablation to cure this disabling arrhythmia.
