Prospective, Tissue-Specific Optimization of Ablation for Multiwavelet Reentry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the United States, affecting an estimated 2.66 million people as of 2010. However, despite the high prevalence of this disease and the heavy socioeconomic burden associated with it, treatment options remain limited, especially in comparison with other reentrant arrhythmias. Of the available treatment options, catheter-based ablat...
متن کاملProspective, Tissue-Specific Optimization of Ablation for Multiwavelet Reentry: Predicting the Required Amount, Location, and Configuration of Lesions.
BACKGROUND Treatment of multiwavelet reentry (MWR) remains difficult. We previously developed a metric, the fibrillogenicity index, to assess the propensity of homogeneous, 2-dimensional tissues to support MWR. In this study, we demonstrate a method by which fibrillogenicity index can be generalized to heterogeneous tissues and validate an algorithm for prospective, tissue-specific optimization...
متن کاملGeneration of a prostate epithelial cell-specific Cre transgenic mouse model for tissue-specific gene ablation
To facilitate the elucidation of the genetic events that may play an important role in the development or tumorigenesis of the prostate gland, we have generated a transgenic mouse line with prostate-specific expression of Cre recombinase. This line, named PB-Cre4, carries the Cre gene under the control of a composite promoter, ARR2PB which is a derivative of the rat prostate-specific probasin (...
متن کاملElectroanatomical mapping and ablation of upper loop reentry atrial flutter.
Upper loop reentry is a rare type of non isthmus-dependent atrial flutter with a reentry circuit around the superior vena cava. We present a case of atrial flutter of this type in a 75-year-old man with concomitant sick sinus syndrome. The diagnostic approach used three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping with the upgraded ENSITE 3000 system. This is the first case to be described where, apar...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia
coronary sinus selectively affect slow pathway function. The current study compares the safety, efficacy, and electrophysiological effects of these two techniques in a prospective, randomized fashion. Methods and Results. Fifty consecutive patients with typical AVNRT were randomly assigned to receive radiofrequency lesions either anteriorly (n=22) or posteriorly (n=28). If the initial approach ...
