Abstract
Micro-reentrant tachycardias are well described and are thought to be responsible for a small proportion of atrial tachycardias post-atrial fibrillation ablation. However, due to the small size of these re-entrant circuits and the poor spatial resolution of conventional mapping tools, they have not previously been mapped accurately in vivo in humans, and have therefore been difficult to distinguish from non-reentrant focal tachycardias. The newly-developed Rhythmia electroanatomical mapping system allows for the rapid creation of activation maps of ultra-high resolution. In this case report, we provide the first images of a micro-reentrant atrial tachycardia circuit in a post-atrial fibrillation setting, mapped with the high resolution Rhythmia mapping system.
