Mustard procedureElectrophysiologyRadiofrequency ablationThis article describes the case of a 38-year-old male patient with a history of D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) status post Mustard atrial switch procedure who presented with palpitations. Electroanatomic mapping and entrainment proved...
A 26 year old woman with a diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and peripartum cardiomyopathy underwent orthotopic heart transplantation using standard atrial anastomoses. Recurrent atrial flutter was demonstrated in the absence of histological evidence of cellular rejection. Radiofrequency ablation of...
will wear a heart monitor for the next two weeks to help doctors gather more information about his condition. Harbaugh said that an ablation procedure is a possibility after that evaluation. Harbaugh has had previous episodes of arrhythmia and had a heart proce...
The ablation procedure was performed under deep sedation with fentanyl and propofol. At the beginning of the procedure, the patient presented with ongoing clinical AT. The cannulation of the coronary sinus (CS) was not possib...
Major new research findings were presented on the value of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy, noninvasive methods for risk stratification, treatment of vasovagal syncope, radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, resynchronization therapy for heart failure, and new insights from basic ...
This electrical shock stops the abnormal electrical activity of the heart for a brief moment and allows the normal rhythm to take over. Although electrical cardioversion can be used to treat almost any abnormal fast heartbeat (such as atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia), it is used most ...
Ablation: Permanent disruption of a problematic electric pathway in the heart with a heated catheter. Advance Directive (living will): A document written in "good" health which informs your family and health care providers of your wishes for extended medical treatment in times of emergency. It ...

more definitive therapy may include specific medications, electrical cardioversion, or catheter-based ablation (sometimes with a pacemaker inserted). Atrial fibrillation is a common condition, with many implications, and the best plan for each patient should be discussed at length with one's physician...
Wieck, 28, was acquired last season from theSan Diego Padres, compiling a 0.600 WHIP in 14 games with the Cubs. The cardiac ablation should prevent a recurrence of atrial flutter. "Brad will rest and rehab for the next week and be evaluated further to establish a timeline for resumption of...
