About this trial

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is effective in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In order to reduce the recurrence rate after catheter ablation, the investigators propose to apply 'virtual' ablation on patient-specific atria by simulating 3D atrial computer model. The investigators will conduct virtual rotor mapping in the patient specific atrial model. Then, the investigators will compare the clinical outcome of conventional circumferential pulmonary vein isolation and additional rotor ablation guided by virtual rotor mapping.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

AF patient age 19~80

Diagnosis of AF patients who performed catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation due to uncontrolled pulse rate by anti-arrhythmic drug therapy.

Disqualifiers

The patient who have renal disease of eGFR<30mL/min

The patients who had been performed catheter ablation of atrial ablation and MAZE.

The patients who missed out to recording of 3D CT, echo and electrocardiography.
