Identifying the Origin of Right and Left Ectopic Atrial Beats Triggering Atrial Fibrillation before Atrial Transseptal Procedure

Atrial premature depolarizations (APDs) triggering atrial fibrillation (AF) originate from mainly the pulmonary veins (PVs), but, in some cases, atrial ectopic beats (AEBs) triggering AF originate from the right atrium (RA) or the superior vena cava. Accurate identification of the origin of APDs in...
