Importance of Atrial Surface Area and Refractory Period in Sustaining Atrial Fibrillation: Testing the Critical Mass Hypothesis

OBJECTIVE: The critical mass hypothesis for atrial fibrillation (AF) was proposed in 1914; however, there have been few studies defining the relationship between atrial surface area and AF. This study evaluated the effect of tissue area and effective refractory period (ERP) on the probability of sus...
