Mechanisms and clinical significance of early recurrences of atrial arrhythmias after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
Early recurrence of atrial arrhythmias (ERAA) after ablation is common and strongly predicts late recurrences and ablation failure. However, since arrhythmia may eventually resolve in up to half of patients with ERAA, guidelines do not recommend immediate reintervention for ERAA episodes occurring during a 3-mo post-ablation blanking period. Certain clinical demographic, electrophysiologic, pro...
متن کاملPredictors of late recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation.
BACKGROUND To predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation is important for selecting patients who will be undergoing catheter ablation, several studies respectively evaluated the risk factor of the recurrence of atrial fibrillation post-ablation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors predicting the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation. METHODS 186 patients (55.12 ...
متن کاملThe different mechanisms between late and very late recurrences of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing a repeated catheter ablation.
INTRODUCTION The mechanisms of late (<1 year after the ablation) and very late (>1 year after the ablation) recurrences of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation have not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty consecutive patients undergoing a repeated electrophysiologic study to investigate the recurrence of paroxysmal AF after the first ablation were included. Group 1...
متن کاملDofetilide is safe and effective in preventing atrial fibrillation recurrences in patients accepted for catheter ablation.
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of dofetilide among patients refractory to other anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) and accepted for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and twenty-seven of 454 patients (69% male, 58% paroxysmal, age 60 +/- 10 years, AF duration 8 +/- 7 years) scheduled for AF ablation between February 2004 and May 2008...
متن کاملPrevalence of asymptomatic recurrences of atrial fibrillation after successful radiofrequency catheter ablation.
INTRODUCTION The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been based on patient-reported symptoms suggestive of AF. However, asymptomatic recurrences of AF may remain undetected. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic recurrences of AF after an apparently successful catheter ablation procedure for AF. METHODS AND RES...
