Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
It is clear that the global burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its associated economic footprint in terms of healthcare utilization is rising exponentially. Cumulative evidence suggests that catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs in the management of paroxysmal and persistent AF in terms of improved quality of life, AF-free survival, and AF burden. It is hoped that catheter a...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
In the recent years, many investigators have proved the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Further studies would be necessary to decrease the recurrence rate and complication rate, and make the procedure more simple.
متن کاملCatheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: segmental pulmonary vein ostial ablation versus left atrial ablation.
BACKGROUND Segmental ostial catheter ablation (SOCA) to isolate the pulmonary veins (PVs) and left atrial catheter ablation (LACA) to encircle the PVs both may eliminate paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The relative efficacy of these 2 techniques has not been directly compared. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 80 consecutive patients with symptomatic PAF (age, 52+/-10 years), 40 patients underwent...
متن کاملA tailored approach to catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Because the genesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) is multifactorial and variable, an ablation strategy that involves pulmonary vein isolation and/or a particular set of ablation lines may not be equally effective or efficient in all patients with AF. A tailored strategy that targets initiators and drivers of AF is a possible alternative to a standardized lesion set. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملEffect of catheter ablation on progression of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the effect of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) on progression of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND Progression to persistent AF may occur in up to 50% of patients with paroxysmal AF receiving pharmacological therapy. Hypertension, age, prior transient ischemic event, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure (HATCH sc...
