However, voltage mapping during SR may be hindered in persistent and long\u2010persistent AF patients by immediate AF recurrence after electrical cardioversion. We assess correlations between LVS extent and location during SR and AF, aiming to identify regional voltage thresholds for rhythm\u2010independent delineation\/detection of LVS areas. (1) Identification of voltage dissimilarities between mapping in SR and AF. (2) Identification of regional voltage thresholds that improve cross\u2010rhythm substrate detection. (3) Comparison of LVS between SR and native versus induced AF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty\u2010one ablation\u2010naive persistent AF patients underwent high\u2010definition (1\u2009mm electrodes; &gt;1200 left atrial (LA) mapping sites per rhythm) voltage mapping in SR and AF. Global and regional voltage thresholds in AF were identified which best match LVS\u2009&lt;\u20090.5\u2009mV and &lt;1.0\u2009mV in SR. Additionally, the correlation between SR\u2010LVS with induced versus native AF\u2010LVS was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Substantial voltage differences (median: 0.52, interquartile range: 0.33\u20130.69, maximum: 1.19\u2009mV) with a predominance of the posterior\/inferior LA wall exist between the rhythms. An AF threshold of 0.34\u2009mV for the entire left atrium provides an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 69%, 67%, and 69% to identify SR\u2010LVS\u2009&lt;\u20090.5\u2009mV, respectively. Lower thresholds for the posterior wall (0.27\u2009mV) and inferior wall (0.3\u2009mV) result in higher spatial concordance to SR\u2010LVS (4% and 7% increase). Concordance with SR\u2010LVS was higher for induced AF compared to native AF (area under the curve[AUC]: 0.80 vs. 0.73). AF\u2010LVS\u2009&lt;\u20090.5\u2009mV corresponds to SR\u2010LVS\u2009&lt;\u20090.97\u2009mV (AUC: 0.73).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the proposed region\u2010specific voltage thresholds during AF improve the consistency of LVS identification as determined during SR, the concordance in LVS between SR and AF remains moderate, with larger LVS detection during AF.
