Noninvasive phase mapping of persistent atrial fibrillation in humans: Comparison with invasive catheter mapping

A novel noninvasive epicardial and endocardial electrophysiology system (NEEES) to identify electrical rotors and focal activity in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was recently introduced. Comparison of NEEES data with results from invasive mapping is lacking.
