Predictors of atrial fibrillation after ablation of typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after successful ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL) is an important medical event, but predictors of this event are still controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of AF and its predictors in patients undergoing ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL). METHODS Fifty...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation after Radiofrequency Ablation of Type I Atrial Flutter.
Typical atrial flutter (AFL) or type I AFL is the most common type of macroreentrant atrial tachycardia. Its prevalence increases with age and is more common in men. Ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI), a critical part of the circuit, is safe and highly effective. Despite the long-term efficacy of this therapy, a significant proportion of patients undergoing CTI ablation will develop a...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter.
A33-year-old man with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis developed ventricular tachycardia managed with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and amiodarone therapy. Subsequently, episodes of atrial flutter triggered spurious therapies from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and the patient underwent electrophysiological evaluation. Common atrial flutter (caudocranial septal and cou...
متن کاملResolution of cardiomyopathy after ablation of atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVES We sought to serially assess left ventricular (LV) function before and after catheter ablation of atrial flutter (AFI). BACKGROUND The relation of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy to AFI and its response to direct catheter ablation are unknown. METHODS LV function was assessed in a series of 59 consecutive patients with successful radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of AFI before and...
متن کاملSymptomatic improvement after radiofrequency catheter ablation for typical atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVE To assess the changes in quality of life, arrhythmia symptoms, and hospital resource utilisation following catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter. DESIGN Patient questionnaire to compare the time interval following ablation with a similar time interval before ablation. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 63 consecutive patients were studied. Four patients subsequentl...
