Figure 5.9. A. Increasing complexity of AF stratified by clinical classification of paroxysmal,
persistent, and long-standing persistent AF. With increasing AF duration, ECGI imaged more
focal sites and wavelets. B. Complexity index, defined as the sum of mean number of wavelets
and focal sources. The complexity index increases from paroxysmal to persistent to long-standing
persistent AF. There is an overlap in complexity between persistent and long-standing persistent
groups. From Cuculich et. al. [279] with permission of Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
