Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Adults With Repaired Congenital Heart Disease.
The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in congenital heart disease (CHD) adults has increased in the past decades due to a longer life expectancy of this population where the subjects are exposed to cardiac overflow, overpressure and structural changes for years. The literature regarding AF ablation in repaired CHD adults emphasizes the importance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) to pe...
متن کاملHeart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation, and Catheter Ablation
Contemporary cardiological practice places great emphasis on the availability of an evidence base to justify and refine indications for treatment. This is particularly apposite to the field of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), where almost 2 decades of research at an increasingly frenetic pace has delivered us a potentially curative treatment in carefully selected patients. In dru...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia in adults, affects 1 in 25 people over the age of 60 years and 1 in 10 over the age of 80 years.1 There is considerable morbidity, mortality and economic burden associated with AF, all of which will increase with the expanding elderly population. Until recently, pharmacologic therapy with AV nodal blocking agents, antiarrhythmics and anticoag...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
everal different approaches have been proposed for targeting the pulmonary veins (PVs) or atria in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). It was initially focal radiofrequency (RF) application inside the PV, then PV ostial isolation by segmental RF applications guided by a circular mapping catheter was developed (EP-guided method).1 Another standard method, circumferential PV isolation...
متن کاملCatheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated atrial activation with associated deterioration of atrial mechanical function.1 It is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, becomes more prevalent with age,2 and is associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality.3 AF can occur in the absence of underlying he...
