Abstract
Dominant atrial rates obtained from the sugace electrocardiogram (ECG) during atrial fibrillation (AF) have been shown to reflect right atrial (RA) and coronary sinus (CS} rates. The relation of pulmonary venous (PV) fibrillatory rate to rates obtained from she standard 12- lead surfuce ECG, is, however, not known. Baseline IO-second 12-lead ECG recordings were made in 25 consecutive patients undergoing PV isolation for AF. After spatiotemporal QRST cancellation, Fourierbased time-frequency analysis was pelformed and atrial fibrillatory rate was determined. Mean PV fibrillatory rates were slightly higher than RA and CS rates, with no difference between right and left PVs. RA {R=.865, p
