Effects of cavotricuspid isthmus ablation on atrioventricular node electrophysiology in patients with typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The atrial musculature in the cavotricuspid isthmus is a part of posterior inputs to the AV node. In patients with typical atrial flutter, effects of radiofrequency ablation of this isthmus on AV node conduction are still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 16 patients with clinically documented typical atrial flutter. Group 1 had 8 patients without and group 2 had 8 p...
متن کامل[Quality of life differences in patients with typical atrial flutter following cavotricuspid isthmus ablation].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess and measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) changes in patients with typical atrial flutter following catheter ablation. The outcome was standardized and normalized to the Spanish population adjusted by age and sex. METHODS Ninety-five consecutive patients who had undergone cavotricuspid isthmus ablation were included. The ...
متن کاملPartial cavotricuspid isthmus block before ablation in patients with typical atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate preexisting partial isthmus block in the context of an electrophysiologically directed linear ablation strategy for typical atrial flutter (AF). BACKGROUND Double potentials (DPs) separated by an isoelectric interval have been recognized as markers of local block. However, the presence and significance of DPs in the cavotricus...
متن کاملStructural and functional inverse cardiac remodeling after cavotricuspid isthmus ablation in patients with typical atrial flutter.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study is to determine the structural and functional cardiac changes that occur in patients at 1-year follow-up after ablation of typical atrial flutter. METHODS We enrolled 95 consecutive patients referred for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation. Echocardiography was performed at ≤6h post-procedure and 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Of 95 patient...
متن کاملAssessment of long-term quality of life after cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for typical atrial flutter
BACKGROUND Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation is the treatment of choice in preventing recurrences of typical atrial flutter (AFl). However, little is known about long-term quality of life (QoL) after CTI ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS From 01/2003 to 05/2005, 94 patients who consecutively underwent typical AFl ablation were included in the study. An SF-36 health questionnaire was self-admin...
