    • ...This hypothesis was questioned by Haïssaguerre et al. [2] when demonstrating that atrial rapid paces originated within or in the ostium of the pulmonary veins (PVs) could act like triggers and, in some cases, they are responsible for the maintenance of AF. A tight coupled single extrastimulus in PVs can result in unidirectiona l conduction block and may also result in a rapid reentrant circuit maintained in the atria [3]...

    • ...The PVs are unique because they possess anisotropic conduction and repolarization heterogeneity allowing reentrant conduction to occur [18, 19]...
    • ...Using high-resolution optical mapping, reentry within the PV has been demonstrated and acts as a focal driver to sustain and initiate AF. Thus, reentry has been implicated as a putative mechanism in both multicircuit reentry within the atria as well as focal activity triggering AF within the PV [18]...
