Abstract :
Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is considered key to atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. To date, it has been an unsolved quest for ablation specialists (including cardiac electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons) and researchers to be able to predict the likelihood of AF recurrence following an ablation procedure (1-3).
