Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation, and Catheter Ablation
Contemporary cardiological practice places great emphasis on the availability of an evidence base to justify and refine indications for treatment. This is particularly apposite to the field of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), where almost 2 decades of research at an increasingly frenetic pace has delivered us a potentially curative treatment in carefully selected patients. In dru...
متن کاملComplications caused by adenosine during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation
Adenosine is increasingly used to assess for dormant conduction following pulmonary vein isolation during atrial fibrillation ablation. While the half-life of adenosine is typically short and side effects transient, operators should be aware of more serious, lasting adverse reactions including anaphylaxis and bronchospasm.
متن کاملCatheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients.
BACKGROUND Rhythm control with antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) is not superior to rate control in patients with heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), but AF ablation may be more successful at achieving rhythm control than AADs. However, risks for both ablation and AADs are likely higher and success rates lower in patients with HF. OBJECTIVE To compare rate control versus AF catheter ab...
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 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...
