Abstract

The feasibility of entrainment of macroreentrant atrial arrhythmias such as atrial flutter is well documented. Recently, it has been shown that regional entrainment of atrial fibrillation is feasible in dogs. Three patients with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent electrophysiologic evaluation with attempted entrainment of atrial fibrillation prior to successful endocardial atrial defibrillation. A 16-pole catheter was positioned in the trabeculated right atrium, and in two patients a multipolar catheter was positioned along the septum. In addition, two large surface area defibrillation catheters were placed, one in the lateral right atrium and one in the coronary sinus. Regional entrainment was attempted in the right atrium and from the catheter in the coronary sinus. Entrainment was achieved in the right atrium in all three patients over a cycle length range of 28, 17, and 13 msec, respectively, and over a radius of atrial tissue of at least 2.8 cm. Regional entrainment was demonstrated from the coronary sinus in one patient during simultaneous right atrial entrainment. Termination of atrial fibrillation during entrainment was not observed. Regional entrainment of chronic atrial fibrillation is feasible in humans.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 September 2023.
All research outputs
#8,246,678
of 24,698,625 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
#1,003
of 2,816 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,198
of 79,750 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
#20
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,698,625 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,816 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 79,750 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
