Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation has become a feasible therapeutic option for the management of this complex and challenging arrhythmia. In this article, we have discussed the mechanism of atrial fibrillation, different imaging modalities used for atrial fibrillation ablati...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia in adults, affects 1 in 25 people over the age of 60 years and 1 in 10 over the age of 80 years.1 There is considerable morbidity, mortality and economic burden associated with AF, all of which will increase with the expanding elderly population. Until recently, pharmacologic therapy with AV nodal blocking agents, antiarrhythmics and anticoag...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity including angina, heart failure and stroke. Medical therapy remains suboptimal with significant side effects and toxicities, as well as a high recurrence rate. Catheter ablation or modification of the atrio-ventricular node with pacemaker implantation provides rate control but subjects the patient to the risks of a...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Ma A frequent need for re-ablations and limited overall success rates are still major limitations of catheter ablation procedures for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). These limitations include not only the durability of the pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) lines, but also the pathophysiological understanding of the arrhythmia’s substrate. Long-term single procedure success rates in non-...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
everal different approaches have been proposed for targeting the pulmonary veins (PVs) or atria in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). It was initially focal radiofrequency (RF) application inside the PV, then PV ostial isolation by segmental RF applications guided by a circular mapping catheter was developed (EP-guided method).1 Another standard method, circumferential PV isolation...
