(2011) Atrioventricular junction ablation and pacemaker implantation for heart failure associated with atrial fibrillation: potential issues and therapies in the setting of acute heart failure syndrome. Heart Failure Reviews 16 , 457-465 /Jason C.Rubenstein, James A.Roth. (2011) Atrioventricular ...
43 patients underwent either a cryothermal (n = 17) or a radiofrequency (n = 26) hybrid epicardial ablation procedure with direct surgical access. The ablation time was significantly
The next one is a case report titled“Pulsed-field ablation vs. radiofrequency ablation for ventricular tachycardia: the first-in-human case of histological lesion analysis”.PFA is a new modality of nonthermal lesion formation that se...
If rapid atrial fibrillation does not respond to drugs, permanent pacemaker insertion with complete or partial ablation of the atrioventricular node, or other atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, may be considered in selected patients to restore a sinus or regular rhythm. Isolated ventri...
On standard electrocardiogram (ECG) PQ interval is known to be moderately heart rate dependent, but no physiologic details of this dependency have been established. At the same time, PQ dynamics is a clear candidate for non-invasive assessment of atrial
Treatment: Pacemaker In rare instances, after an ablation to treat your atrial fibrillation, your doctor may need to implant a pacemaker. Pacemakers themselves are not designed to treat atrial fibrillation. They are mainly used to correct slow heartbeats. Pacemakers for AFib may be placed if the ...
The following 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing is provided from a 72 years old male patient implanted with a dual-chamber pacemaker (Medtronic Astra DR), when applying a magnet. He underwent three previous persistent atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia radiofrequency ablations, and an ...

(Fig. 9-27), the less detrimentalhemodynamic effectof LV pacing may be explained by better interventricular coupling. This mechanism may also partially account for the beneficialhemodynamic effectsof LV pacing in patients with heart failure andAV nodeablation.202In these patients, no fusion can ...
Severe arrhythmic events during three-year follow-up occurred in 97 of 1194 patients (8.1%). No statistically significant differences were found among the subtypes of CHD, regarding the occurrence of SAE (Table 2). The most frequent SAE was nsVT documented by Holter-ECG, pacemaker, ICD, or ...
