During invasive electrophysiological studies (EPS), AF can be induced via high rate atrial burst pacing, sometimes also in patients without a history of the disease. However, the prognostic value of this test is largely unknown. In this study, we hypothesised that inducibility of AF during EPS is associated with a higher risk to develop clinical AF and that noninducibility is a valid predictor of freedom from new-onset atrial fibrillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
