The rapid time course of decreased PWH and TWH after PVI suggests a beneficial influence likely mediated via ablation of the intrinsic cardiac nervous system. Acute responses of PWH and TWH to PVI suggest a favorable dual effect on atrial and ventricular electrical stability and could be used to track individual patients' electrical heterogeneity profile.
