Left atrial intramyocardial fat at pulmonary vein reconnection sites during atrial fibrillation redo ablation

Intramyocardial fat is co-localized with two-thirds of PV-LA reconnection points in patients undergoing AF redo ablation. Reconnection segments exhibit significantly higher inFAT volumes compared to non-reconnection segments. This proof-of-concept study suggests that inFAT may play a role in PV-LA electrical reconnections following PVI.

Abstract

Intramyocardial fat is co-localized with two-thirds of PV-LA reconnection points in patients undergoing AF redo ablation. Reconnection segments exhibit significantly higher inFAT volumes compared to non-reconnection segments. This proof-of-concept study suggests that inFAT may play a role in PV-LA electrical reconnections following PVI.
