Brief Summary: This is a prospective observational single center pilot trial to find out if a new computerized technology for analysis of the electrical activity recorded during atrial fibrillation can identify the electrical source of this arrhythmia If we are able to reliably identify the source then in the future we may be able to use this technology to determine the optimal sites for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in the heart The present study will compare the standard electrical recordings to the new computerized algorithm analysis of recordings gathered at the same time The study will enroll 30 participants with persistent or longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation AF that are scheduled for elective catheter ablation of AF The catheters that are being placed in the heart are standard Food and Drug Administration FDA-approved mapping catheters The investigational computerized software that will be employed in the trial will be used after the case has done and will not directly impact any of the activities during the ablation procedure Information learned from this trial will improve understanding of the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation and will potentially improve success rates of AF ablation for patients in the future and will be used to design a prospective trial
Detailed Description: It is hypothesized that initiation and propagation of atrial fibrillation AF is dependent at least in part on rapid atrial stimulation from focal sources It is debated whether the mechanism of arrhythmogenesis at these foci is abnormal automaticity triggered activity microreentry or rotational reentry However after activation emerges from these driver sites fibrillatory conduction ensues resulting in the disorganized conduction pattern of AF Conventional mapping systems can either achieve high spatial resolution by sequential tachycardia beats following a fixed intra-atrial activation pattern as in macro reentrant atrial flutter or high temporal resolution with very low spatial resolution achieved through multielectrode basket catheters Activation mapping in AF with commercially available mapping systems has been unsuccessful in identifying driver sites because atrial activation patterns change on a beat-to-beat basis precluding the use of sequential mapping approaches and real-time mapping with basket electrodes lacks sufficient resolution to delineate the complex patterns of conduction Electrographic Flow EGF mapping AblaMap Ablacon Inc Wheat Ridge CO is a unique method to assess dominant patterns of intra-atrial conduction during ongoing atrial fibrillation and has been previously described Recordings from a multielectrode basket catheter are analyzed for electrical activation vectors over sequential 2-second segments during a 60 second acquisition period Patterns of reproducible vector activation are used to identify driver sources for the AF Multiple sources are often identified in patients with persistent AF It is anticipated that substrate modification of these source regions will eliminate the AF drivers and result in a favorable response to catheter ablation

Participants undergoing elective catheter ablation of AF will be enrolled During the elective catheter ablation and during ongoing AF A 64-pole basket mapping catheter FIRMap Abbott Laboratories Abbott Park IL will be inserted into the right atrium and electrical signals will be passively acquired This is the only aspect of the procedure that will be research beyond standard of care A 16-pole HD grid mapping catheter Advisor HD Grid Abbott Laboratories Abbott Park IL will be inserted into the right atrium and high density electrogram signals will be recorded from each site for 2 minutes At least 6 sites will be assessed After transseptal catheterization mapping of the left atrium will proceed in a similar fashion Electrogram signals will be recorded in the electroanatomical mapping system as well as the 128-channel electrophysiology recording system The collected electrogram data will be analyzed post procedure
