Single center observational study to compare the relationship between atrial fibrosis and potential ablation targets from CARTOFINDER.
A total number of 30 patients will undergo catheter Ablation for persistent AF. Pre-procedural cardiac MRI will be performed with late-gadolinium enhancement to visualize the individual amount and distribution of fibrosis in the right and left atrium. CARTOFINDER-guided mapping will be performed during the ablation procedure followed by AF ablation. The individual relationship between atrial fibrosis and potential ablation targets will be accessed.

A total of 20 consecutive patients with drug-refractory persistent AF will be included in this prospective observational analysis. AF will be defined as persistent if episodes lasted > 7 days or required electrical or pharmacological cardioversion after ≥ 48 h from onset. All patients will be treated for AF at the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. Written informed will be obtained from each patient, the study concept complies with the Declaration of Helsinki and the institutional review board already approved the study design. Catheter ablation will be performed under deep sedation. In all patients preprocedural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will be performed to guide the intervention, visualize the individual amount and distribution of fibrosis and to visualize the anatomical location and course of the esophagus.
