Achieving neither EPI nor PHI following PVI was associated with favorable outcome in patients with persistent AF. The combination of tests may discriminate patients responsive to the PVI-only strategy. Further selective approaches are necessary to improve outcome for inducible atrial tachyarrhythmia in patients with persistent AF.
