Is AF Ablation Cost Effective?
The use of catheter ablation to treat AF is increasing rapidly, but there is presently an incomplete understanding of its cost-effectiveness. AF ablation procedures involve significant up-front expenditures, but multiple randomized trials have demonstrated that ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs at maintaining sinus rhythm in a second-line and possibly first-line rhythm contro...
متن کاملAF Termination: the Holy Grail of Persistent AF Ablation?
The optimal catheter ablation approach for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive despite significant advances made in our understanding of this arrhythmia. A recent systematic review highlighted the significant variation in procedural success rate both within and between techniques, necessitating repeat ablation procedures and anti-arrhythmic drugs to achieve improved...

متن کاملAF verbs: transitive, intransitive, or both
As far as the transitivity of AF verbs is concerned, there are two conflicting hypotheses in the Austronesian literature. In the ergative hypothesis (Starosta 1997), AF verbs are uniformly identified as antipassive/intransitive; in the symmetrical-voice hypothesis (Kroeger 1993), AF verbs are claimed to be able to occur as transitive on a par with NAF verbs. In this paper, we address the issue ...
متن کاملRotors during AF: drivers or bystanders?
In the study of Lee and co-workers, in 18 patients undergoing open heart surgery for mitral or aortic valve disease, high-density mapping of the atria was performed (128 electrodes/6.75 cm). The mapping plaquewas positionedconsecutivelyon the left and right atrial appendages, the posterior wall of the left atrium, and the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV)– left atrial (LA) junction. In the m...
