BACKGROUND: During persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), waves with a focal spread of activation are frequently observed. The origin of these waves and their relevance for the persistence of AF are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 24 patients with longstanding persistent AF and structural heart disease, high-density mapping of the right and left atria was performed during cardiac surgery. In a reference group of 25 patients, AF was induced by rapid pacing. For data analysis, a mapping algorithm was developed that separated the fibrillatory process into its individual wavelets and identified waves with a focal origin. During persistent AF, the incidence of focal fibrillation waves in the right atrium was almost 4-fold higher than during acute...
