A systematic review of the effectiveness of catheter ablation NavX mapping system for treatment of the cardiac arrhythmia
Background: Catheter ablation is widely used for treatment of atrial fibrillation. The use of fluoroscopic and non-fluoroscopic mapping systems in catheter ablation is common. This study conducted to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Navx non-fluoroscopic mapping system. Methods : In this study, the appropriate electronic databases including Cochrane Library and Ovid Medline searc...
متن کاملNonlinear properties of cardiac rhythm abnormalities
Many physical processes have distributions of times between events that have non-normalizable, power law probability density functions ~PDF’s!. The moments of such distributions are not defined. We found that the PDF’s of the times between events of ventricular tachyarrhythmia ~rapid heart rate! and premature ventricular contractions have a power law form indicative of a non-normalizable distri...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation to Maintain Sinus Rhythm
Over the past 12 years, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged from being a novel, largely unproven procedure to its role today as a very commonly performed procedure for treatment of patients with symptomatic AF.1–4 In fact, catheter ablation of AF has become one of the most commonly performed catheter ablation procedures at most large medical centers throughout the world. T...
متن کاملNonthermal cardiac catheter ablation using photodynamic therapy.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation has limitations, largely related to creation of lesions by heating. Here, we report the first nonthermal ablation by applying photodynamic therapy (PDT) to cardiac tissues using a custom-made deflectable laser catheter. The present study investigated the feasibility of PDT for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation in a canine model. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated...
متن کاملECG patch monitors for assessment of cardiac rhythm abnormalities.
The primary goal of long-term monitoring is the improvement of diagnostic yield. Despite the clear utility of Holter monitoring in clinical cardiology, issues of relatively low diagnostic yield, cost and inconvenience have motivated the development of ultra-portable devices referred to as ECG patch monitors. Although the "gold standard" for assessing cardiac rhythm abnormalities remains a 12-le...
