Abstract
This article reviews the literature on various techniques in the ablation of persistent AF, with the aim of highlighting the role of intraprocedural arrhythmia termination, defined as conversion to sinus rhythm or intermediate atrial tachycardia, in the predictability of arrhythmia recurrence. Because arrhythmia termination is not observed universally as a procedural end point, only those studies wherein it has been specifically reported, and its predictive role in arrhythmia recurrence is considered, are described.
