PVI did not have a global impact on PDs outside the PVs and posterior wall. Although fewer focal PDs predicted termination of AF with PVI, the burden of rotational PDs did not. It is accepted though not all PDs are necessarily real or important. Outcome data are needed to confirm whether noninvasive mapping can predict patients likely to respond to PVI.
