Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and a more severe impairment in quality of life compared with patients with congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction. Left atrial myocardial extensions, known as “myocardial sleevesâ€, are present in almost all pulmonary veins (PVs), and have been recognized as the main source of triggers that initiate and perpetuate AF.
