Figure 2. LACV, distance, and time
Left upper panel compares left atrial conduction velocities (LACVs) (A). Anterior and posterior LACVs were slower in patients with AF recurrence than in those without. Anterior route showed slower conduction velocity than the posterior route, irrespective of AF recurrence. Right upper panel compares left atrial conduction distances (B). The anterior route demonstrated shorter distance irrespective of AF recurrence. Left lower panel compares left atrial conduction time (C). Patients with AF recurrence had a longer conduction time than those without. LACV, left atrial conduction velocity; AF, atrial fibrillation.
