Long-term atrial arrhythmia characterization and treatment efficacy evaluation using non-invasive echocardiography-based electromechanical cycle length mapping: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac condition characterized by irregular heart rhythm. Conventional non-invasive diagnostic techniques, while useful, have limitations in providing comprehensive information for treatment planning. To address this gap, electromechanical cycle length mapping (ECLM), a non-invasive echocardiography-based technique, has emerged as a promising approach. Electromechanical cycle length mapping offers quantitative and spatially specific insights into atrial electromechanical activation rate mapping, thereby enhancing our understanding of arrhythmia disease progression in AF patients.

Case summary

In this case series, we present two patient cases demonstrating the potential utility of ECLM in monitoring and evaluating treatment
