Summary
Adenosine is used clinically to assess permanency of electrical isolation of pulmonary veins
during atrial fibrillation ablation, however, the methodology has not been validated either
in terms of the reproducibility of the adenosine response or the effect on clinical outcomes,
namely whether using pulmonary vein reconnection to guide additional ablation lowers rate
recurrent atrial fibrillation post ablation. Study will test the hypothesis that the response
to adenosine used in this manner is reproducible over time.
