Abstract
During stable AF, the PLA harbors regular, fast, and highly organized activity; the outer limit of the DFmax domain is the area where the most propagation pattern variability and fractionated activity occur. These new concepts introduce a new perspective in the clinical use of high-frequency fractionated electrograms to localize sources of AF precisely at the PLA and elsewhere.
