Arrhythmia/Electrophysiology Renal Function After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Background—Kidney function is a known predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often have kidney dysfunction, less is known about the association between AF and kidney function. We sought to assess changes in kidney function after catheter ablation of AF. Methods and Results—Patients who underwent catheter ablation of AF were recruited...

متن کاملMonitoring Atrial Fibrillation After Catheter Ablation.
Although catheter ablation is an effective treatment for recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF), there is no consensus on the definition of success or follow-up strategies. Symptoms are the major motivation for undergoing catheter ablation in patients with AF, however it is well known that reliance on perception of AF by patients after AF ablation results in an underestimation of recurrence of the ...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation has become a feasible therapeutic option for the management of this complex and challenging arrhythmia. In this article, we have discussed the mechanism of atrial fibrillation, different imaging modalities used for atrial fibrillation ablati...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity including angina, heart failure and stroke. Medical therapy remains suboptimal with significant side effects and toxicities, as well as a high recurrence rate. Catheter ablation or modification of the atrio-ventricular node with pacemaker implantation provides rate control but subjects the patient to the risks of a...
