surgical risk during ablation for atrial flutter is the possibility of blood filling the sac around the heart. This occurs in approximately one out of 200 patients.Blood pressuredrops when this happens, and a small tube inserted near the breastbone drains the excess blood and corrects blood ...
Atrial fibrillation happens when these chambers don’t work together as they should because of faulty electrical signaling. Normally, the atria and ventricles contract at the same speed. In atrial fibrillation, the atria and ventricles are out of sync because the atria contract very quickly and irr...
A-fib ablation is a procedure that uses energy to burn a small area of heart tissue. This creates scar tissue and prevents electrical signals that cause A-fib. You may need this procedure more than 1 time. Ask for more information on A-fib ablation. A pacemaker may be inserted into your...
Keywords: Atrial Fibrillation, Spiral Wave, Rotor, Fibrillatory Conduction, Paroxysmal, Human, Ablation, Focal Source Introduction There is increasing focus on ablating the substrates that maintain atrial fibrillation (AF) after it has been triggered.1 Structural substrate includes atrial...
What happens during P wave? The P wave representsthe depolarization of the left and right atrium and also corresponds to atrial contraction. Strictly speaking, the atria contract a split second after the P wave begins. Because it is so small, atrial repolarization is usually not visible on ECG...
In the case of atrial flutter, radiofrequency catheter ablation has not only increased the therapeutic efficacy of this typically drug-resistant arrhythmia, but has enhanced our knowledge about its mechanisms. The identification of the mechanisms of atrial flutter has been a challenge for several ...
A 60-year-old woman with a history of pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presented with persistent atypical atrial flutter. The left superior pulmonary vein was found to be reconnected and taking part in maintenance of the tachycardia. We present the successful ablation of ...
