Thirty\u2010second unipolar basket and PentaRay recordings were analyzed using CARTOFINDER. Focal activation or \u201cregion of interest\u201d (ROI) was defined as more than or equal to 2 consecutive focal activations with one electrode leading relative to its neighbors with QS morphology on the unipolar electrogram. ROI was validated in AT. AF patients were mapped to (1) look for evidence of focal activations on wavefront maps, (2) evaluate whether these were detected as ROI on basket recordings, and (3) whether these sites could be identified on sequential PentaRay recordings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>ROIs were identified in five focal ATs but none of 16 reentrant ATs. Twenty\u2010eight AF patients had 35 focal drivers identified from basket wavefront maps with an ablation response in all (16 cycle length slowing and 19 AF termination). Thirty focal activations were detected on basket ROI maps (86%). Twenty\u2010three of 28 patients had sequential PentaRay mapping and 22 of 30 focal drivers in these patients (73%) were identified as ROI. These drivers had greater temporal stability (3.6\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6 vs 2.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), higher recurrence rate (12.4\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7 vs 7.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9; \n<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and more frequently were associated with AF termination (\n<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared with those not identified as ROI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Focal activations can be detected in AF using sequential recordings.
