Iatrogenic atrial tachyarrhythmias have increased with the widespread application of left atrial ablative procedures to treat atrial fibrillation. Entrainment and activation mapping were utilized to study the m

Aetna considers surgical ligation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) medically necessary for individuals with atrial fibrillation and a CHADS score of at least 2, or CHA2DS2-VASC score of at least 3 who are undergoing open heart surgery, and who will continued to take long-term anticoagulation...
Electrophysiology especially the interventional therapy of complex arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation (AFib/AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) is one of the fastest growing fields within cardiology. The intervention itself involves inserting a special catheter ...
7 Consequently, effective alternative therapies are urgently needed to treat AVH in patients with schizophrenia. To this end, numerous neuroimaging studies have been tested to identify the neural correlates of AVH.8,9 Among the abundant brain regions or networks that may be involved in the ...
Procedure-related or device-related serious adverse events occurred in 21 of 499 patients in the closure group (4.2 %), but the rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) or device thrombus was not increased. The authors concluded that, in the primary intention-to-treat analysis, there was no ...
This is the group of patients who are usually at increased risk of infection compared to de novo primary device implantation procedures. Among this group, several patient/device-related risk factors for CIED infection were identified that are not possible to modify including a history of atrial ...
We also reviewed the ACC/AHA Clinical Data Standards on Heart Failure (4) and the ACC/AHA Clinical Data Standards on Atrial Fibrillation (5), as well as the ACC/AHA/ESC Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines (6). The EP data standards are meant to provide data elements that parallel and complement...
As a result, several catheter ablation techniques may be used to treat atrial fibrillation by ablating lines in the left atrium. The relevant anatomical features involved in this type of procedure are schematically illustrated in FIG. 1B. Typically, for this purpose, the physician attempts to abla...
as it is effective in evacuating hot gasses and fluids from the biopsy cavity, thereby decreasing collateral tissue thermal damage. The same combination may then also be used to treat the cavity post-procedure by, for example, providing a ready-made pathway for the introduction of beneficial agen...
