Related manufacturer reference number: 2030404-2020-00018. The following was published in the international journal of cardiology in an article titled? Elongation of the high right atrium to coronary sinus conduction time predicts the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency catheter ablation? By kanemaru y, arima y, kaikita k, et al. , 18 november 2019. ? The impact of intra-atrial conduction delay on the recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after radio frequency catheter ablation (rfca) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, 155 af patients who were in sinus rhythm at the start of rfca were analyzed at the kumamoto university hospital from january 2011 to march 2017. The conduction time from the onset of the earliest atrial electrogram at the high right atrium (hra) to the end of the latest electrogram at the coronary sinus (cs) during sinus rhythm was defined as hra-cs conduction time. Pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) was performed followed by linear roof lesion and complex fractionated atrial electrogram (cfae) ablation until af termination. Of the 155 patients, four experienced esophageal injuries. The conclusion was that the hra-cs conduction time was the primary influencing factor that predicted the recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after catheter ablation. (https://doi. Org/10. 1016/j.
