Popis: Objectives This study aimed: 1) to determine the voltage correlation between sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) using multielectrode fast automated mapping; 2) to identify a bipolar voltage cutoff for scar and/or low voltage areas (LVAs); and 3) to examine the reproducibility of voltage mapping in AF. Background It is unclear if bipolar voltage cutoffs should be adjusted depending on the rhythm and/or area being mapped. Methods High-density mapping was performed first in SR and afterward in induced AF/AFL. In some patients, 2 maps were performed during AF. Maps were combined to create a new one. Points of
