Atrial fibrillationCatheter ablationSurgical ablationAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, which significantly contributes to morbidity, mortality, and a diminished quality of life. Despite advancements in pharmacological treatments, many AF patients do not achieve adequate symptom ...
Paroxysmal(par-ok-SIZ-mul) atrial fibrillation is the first type and describes a state where AFib comes and goes. People have AFib for a short period of time and then it goes away. It may last for a few minutes, sometimes a couple hours or up to a few days. Paroxysmal AFib never la...
Catheter ablation.In this procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and moved to your heart. Once there, your doctor will use the catheter to deliver hot or cold energy to make scars in the part of your heart where your atrial flutter occurs. Thes...
Ablation involves giving doses of iodine labeled with radioactivity that selectively destroys the thyroid tissue. Thyroid surgery Surgery can be used to remove a large goiter or a hyperfunctioning nodule within the gland. Surgery is necessary when there is a possibility of thyroid cancer. If the ...

Antiarrhythmic therapy in atrial fibrillation. Currently available antiarrhythmic drugs for the management of AF are not sufficiently effective and are burdened with cardiac and extracardiac side effect... U Ravens - 《Pharmacology & Therapeutics》 被引量: 94发表: 2010年 Ablation Therapy for Cardiac ...
Age is a major risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated with increased recurrence rates in the setting of rhythm control. Current data tend to support catheter ablation in elderly patients, but uncertainties exist regarding efficacy and safety of ablation in elderly pati...
In an emergency, a doctor can place a set of paddles or patches on your chest to deliver an electric shock to your heart. This helps your heartbeat return to normal. Catheter ablation For this treatment, doctors thread tiny tubes (calledcatheters) through a vein to your heart. These relea...
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...
To investigate theradiofrequency catheter ablationin the treatment of patients withparoxysmal atrial fibrillationand different types of sinus node dysfunction(SND). Methods 228 patients of PAF underwent RFCA from January 2012 to December 2014 was analyzed in this study. According to ECG and Holter, Th...
