f - QRS on 12-lead ECG has a high predictive value for the combined end point of all-cause mortality and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in IDCM patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Characteristic differences of both left atrial volume and geometry exist between the different forms of atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal, persistent and long-term persistent). The asymmetry index is a simple parameter derived by cardiac CT data that reflects these changes of LA geometry and predicts the outcome after the pulmonary vein isolation.

The use of a cryoballoon catheter equipped with a 6-pole micromapping catheter inserted through its central lumen for the purpose of mapping and ablation during PV isolation procedures is both feasible and effective.
