Vein damage during the procedure happens to one in 500 patients. A small surgery is required to repair the vein when this occurs. Another 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...
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...

Studies are needed to define the physiology of AF termination, particularly if it occurs after extensive ablation and/or to atrial tachycardia,31 and if this is equivalent to termination to sinus rhythm (Figure 4). The CONFIRM trial (CONventional ablation with or without Focal Im...
The atriotomy scars after heart surgeries have been demonstrated as an anatomical substrate for arrhythmias.1,2 Catheter ablation of typical and atypical atrial flutters is frequently required in these patients owing to heart failure deterioration. However, not only arrhythmias but also conduction distur...
“captain” of an energy producing team. This is mainly due to its necessity for oxidation of glucose, by far and away the most important fuel for the brain, nervous system and heart. Thus, although beriberi is regarded as a disease of those organs, it can affect every cell in the ...

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 ...
Class IC/Amiodarone Atrial Flutter: What Are the Long-Term Results of Radiofrequency Ablation?Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent arrhythmia in clinical practice. Its prevalence varies from 0.5% to 9% [1] of the general population between 50 and 80 years of age. It may appear in the ...
