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.enatrial mechanical functionelectrophysiologyintracardiac echocardiographyProspective validation of phased array intracardiac echocardiography for the assessment of atrial mechanical function during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillationJournal article002009332710.1136/hrt.2005.0642950002355606000292-s2.0-3364452439037096Sanders, P.
