Abstract
A system for treating atrial fibrillation includes a memory configured to store a baseline measurement of an atrial fibrillation characteristic of a patient and a post administration measurement of the atrial fibrillation characteristic of the patient. The post administration measurement is obtained subsequent to administration of a reactive oxygens species (ROS) scavenger to the patient. The system also includes a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to determine a change between the baseline measurement and the post administration measurement of the atrial fibrillation characteristic. The processor is further configured to identify, based on the determined change, one or more hot spots of atrial fibrillation, where the one or more hot spots comprise target areas for treatment of the atrial fibrillation.
