Influence of tissue thickness on thermal latency during high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation with proactive esophageal cooling

Background
Thermal latency, or delayed heating, is increasingly recognized as an important factor in the formation of both intentional and unintentional lesions during radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). High-power short-duration (HPSD) ablation appears to...
