Reentry-driven model of atrial fibrillation is maintained by paired reentries and terminated by strategic pairwise virtual ablation
This work provides mechanistic insights into AF, and points towards pitfalls of ablation strategies, both of which have the potential to improve our understanding and ability to treat this condition.
