Catheter ablation of atrial flutter using radiofrequency energy.
Sixteen patients with type I atrial flutter underwent an attempt at radiofrequency catheter ablation (8 women, 8 men, mean age 53 +/- 11 years). The primary criterion used to identify sites for radiofrequency energy delivery was the identification of a fractionated electrogram. Radiofrequency energy was delivered for 20 to 30 seconds. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was acutely successful in 1...

any importance to thallium data even in these young patients. Nevertheless, it is open to speculation whether this important subgroup is characterized by a special anatomical substrate' or pathophysiological mechanism leading to an extraordinarily high degree of subendocardial ischaemia. Mainly because of methodological problems, ambulatory ST-monitoring seems to be of limited value for ischaem...

Background—Information on comparative outcome between radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) 1 year after randomization is important for clinical decision-making. Methods and Results—A total of 198 patients (age, 56 10 years) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were randomly assigned to RFA (99 patients) or to AADs (99 patients). We evaluated efficacy of RFA or A...

The aim of this study is to characterize the clinical manifestations and features of pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) by retrospectively analyzing clinical data of patients in addition to reviewing the literature simultaneously to improve the understanding of PVS complicating radiofrequency catheter ablation and to provide evidence for early diagnosis and timely treatment. Clinical, imaging, and f...
متن کاملEndocardial and Epicardial Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
Myocarditis is simply defined as an inflammatory condition mainly located in the heart muscle, although considerable uncertainties still persist as to its etiologic, pathological, and clinical subclassifications. In addition to the possibility of an aspecific flulike prodrome, possible presentations include different degrees of heart failure (ranging from cardiogenic shock to subtly progressive...
