The author found that ectopic beats, originating from the superior pulmonary veins predominantly, initiated paroxysms of atrial fibrillation, and that these veins could be electrically isolated by targeting the sites of double potentials, thus suggesting the electrical connection between the left atrium and the pulmonary veins.

This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of circumferential pulmonary vein isolation using an electroanatomic mapping system. Unlike the study by Haissaguerre et al, no attempts were made to isolate the pulmonary veins electrically.
