Five-year outcome of catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation using termination of atrial fibrillation as a procedural endpoint.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine 5-year efficacy of catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) using AF termination as a procedural end point. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred fifty patients (57±10 years) underwent persistent AF ablation using a stepwise ablation approach (pulmonary vein isolation, electrogram-guided, and linear ablation) with the desired procedural end ...
متن کاملAblation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in the clinical setting affecting nearly 6 million people in United States and the numbers are only expected to rise as the population continues to age. Broadly it is classified into paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent AF. Electrical, structural and autonomic remodeling are some of the diverse pathophysiological...
متن کاملLong-term outcome after successful catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is increasingly used for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), but few reports exist regarding long-term success. We determined 5-year outcomes of PVI among patients with freedom from AF off antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) for 1 year after PVI. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF who underwent PVI at the University of...
متن کامل[Ablation of familial atrial fibrillation. Favorable long-term outcome].
We present the case of a 39-year-old man with no risk factors for cardiovascular disease. He had a 6-year history of paroxysmal atrial flutter and fibrillation, documented by electrocardiogram and Holter. He complained of daily episodes of rapid, irregular palpitation. There was no radiographic or echographic evidence of structural myocardial abnormalities. Other members of the family (a grandm...
متن کاملFrequency Gradient Within Coronary Sinus Predicts the Long‐Term Outcome of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
BACKGROUND The coronary sinus (CS), as a junction of the atria, contributes to atrial fibrillation (AF) by developing unstable reentry, and isolating the atria by ablation at the CS could terminate AF. The present study evaluated whether AF activities at the CS in a subset of patients contributed to AF maintenance and predicted clinical outcome of ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 122 ...
