Treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation by ablation has become a well-established therapeutic option. Electrophysiologists provide pulmonary vein isolation and substrate modification by using different mapping systems and ablation catheters, which differ in many technical aspects, such as the energy ...

Catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently one of the most commonly performed electrophysiology procedures. Ablation of paroxysmal AF is based on the elimination of triggers by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), while different strategies for additional AF substrate modification on t...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is a rapidly evolving field. It has been adopted at many institutions worldwide. This review compares the efficacy and cost of catheter ablation and medical therapy in atrial fibrillation patients. RECENT FINDINGS: There is emerging evidence...
Efficacy of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: impact of age, atrial remodelling, and disease progression In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF), radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) represents a promising option. How... ...
Ultimately, the driving force for any management strategy adopted should be determined by the symptoms experienced by the patient, and the effect that the arrhythmia has on their quality of life. 展开 关键词: adenosine atrial fibrillation catheter ablation dormant conduction isoprenaline pulmonary veins...
Background Catheter ablation is a potentially curable treatment for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Flutter (Aflut). Racial disparities have been reported in the use of cardiovascular procedures. We explored such disparities in Florida. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of all ablations be...
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has been increasingly performed over the past decade. Regardless of technological advances and technique improvement, catheter ablation for AF remains a highly complex procedure and the risk of procedural complications is not negligible. This article discusses...
We sought to compare the cost-effectiveness of left atrial catheter ablation (LACA), amiodarone, and rate control therapy in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial catheter ablation has been performed to eliminate AF, but its cost-effectiveness is unknown. We developed a decision...
