Abstract

BACKGROUND: Non-pulmonary vein (NPV) trigger has been reported as an important predictor of recurrence post-atrial fibrillation ablation. Elimination of NPV triggers can reduce the recurrence of postablation atrial fibrillation. Deep learning was applied to preablation pulmonary vein computed tomography geometric slices to create a prediction model for NPV triggers in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
