Apr 2, 2015 · A decade after its first description as ‘the electrophysiological substrate’ of atrial fibrillation, 1 mapping complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) as an ablation target for atrial fibrillation …

Apr 22, 2012 · Complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE) were offered as a tool for substrate mapping and ablation in atrial fibrillation.

At Pacific Rim Electrophysiology in Bangkok, we have refined the standard approach to atrial fibrillation ablation. Pioneered by Dr. Koonlawee Nademanee, our approach targets specific sites in the heart …

To fully evaluate the effect of CFAE ablation on atrial substrate, we must explore its definition and the etiology of fractionated signals and recognize some limitations inherent to CFAE-guided ablation.

Ablating certain grades of CFAE caused AFCL prolongation, suggesting they are more important in maintaining AF. Targeting these CFAE may reduce unnecessary left atrial destruction.

In this issue of the journal Sohal and colleagues 8 give a comprehensive overview of the distinct CFAE types and difficulties in their distinction that depends on the electrode size, the mode of electrogram …

CFAEs are defined as low voltage atrial electrograms (Figure 1), ranging from 0.04 - 0.25 mV, that have fractionated electrograms composed of two deflections or more, and/or have a perturbation of the …

Sep 1, 2014 · It has been a decade since the complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) were first established following the publication of Nademanee's standards. However, the status and focus …

May 1, 2014 · Since its first description by Nademanee et al., numerous articles have appeared in the literature addressing the role and value of complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) on the …

Here, we explore the challenges inherent with characterization of CFAE as well as the current and future role of CFAE ablation in AF.
