  Longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) results from complex arrhythmogenic substrate and localized sources, and often requires extensive ablation strategy.Such an extensive ablation, however, instigates serious misgivings about the left atrial (LA) transport function.Furthermore, objective clinical benefit of LSPAF ablation has remained generally unknown.We have analysed a series of 101 consecutive patients with LSPAF resistant to amiodarone and cardioversion.
