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 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 of atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity and cost.1 AF is seen across a wide spectrum of patients, from lone AF without structural heart disease, to the postoperative setting, to patients with significant left ventricular dysfunction and advanced heart failure. AF is clinically classified as paroxysmal ( 7 days), persi...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
trial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia that affects patient morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation for AF has emerged as a promising new treatment strategy. In contrast to antiarrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation directly eliminates the inciting factors for AF and offers the possibility of a lasting cure. Various methods of ablating AF have been tried. Creati...
