متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation after Radiofrequency Ablation of Type I Atrial Flutter.
Typical atrial flutter (AFL) or type I AFL is the most common type of macroreentrant atrial tachycardia. Its prevalence increases with age and is more common in men. Ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI), a critical part of the circuit, is safe and highly effective. Despite the long-term efficacy of this therapy, a significant proportion of patients undergoing CTI ablation will develop a...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation of type I atrial flutter: time to onset, determinants, and clinical course.
BACKGROUND The occurrence of atrial fibrillation after ablation of type I atrial flutter remains an important clinical problem. To gain further insight into the pathogenesis and significance of postablation atrial fibrillation, we examined the time to onset, determinants, and clinical course of atrial fibrillation after ablation of type I flutter in a large patient cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS...
متن کاملRole of autonomic tone in facilitating spontaneous onset of typical atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to study the change in autonomic tone that precedes the initiation of paroxysmal atrial flutter. BACKGROUND An abrupt change in the autonomic tone of the heart is an important initiating factor in the pathogenesis of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Whether the autonomic tone has a role in the initiation of paroxysmal atrial flutter...
متن کاملIsoproterenol to evaluate resumption of conduction after right atrial isthmus ablation in type I atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND After radiofrequency (RF) ablation of atrial flutter (AFL), the demonstration of bidirectional isthmus conduction (BIC) block is considered the hallmark of a successful procedure. The purpose of our study was to test the persistence of BIC block after isoproterenol administration and to evaluate the importance of this finding with regard to AFL recurrences. METHODS AND RESULTS RF a...
