Abstract

Objectives: To describe pulmonary vein (PV) potentials in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at the Vietnam Heart Institute.The results showed that typical PV potentials were recorded all patients withparoxysmal atrial fibrillation(100%). The maximal and mean A–PV intervals in left superior pulmonary vein were longest (67.00 ± 9.72 ms và 56.65 ± 8.52 ms, respectively).Types of pulmonary vein potentials were a higher prevalence ofmultiphasic (31.6% ± 8.7%); the others were included triphasic potentials (29,5% ± 9,1%), biphasic potentials (19,4% ± 8,4%), and double potentials was 5.8% ± 5.9%. The double potentials was a highest in left superior pulmonary vein (11.9% ± 6.8%).
