Abstract
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as an adjunctive tool during electrophysiological procedures. The objective of this study was to validate ICE for assessing atrial mechanical function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by comparing the parameters of atrial mechanical function assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) versus ICE.
