Left atrial dyssynchrony time measured by tissue Doppler imaging to predict atrial fibrillation recurrences after pulmonary vein isolation
OBJECTIVE In this study we assess the value of left atrial dyssynchrony time measured by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) to predict recurrences after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS One hundred sixty patients (57 ± 7.5 years, 122 males) with symptomatic drug-refractory paroxysmal and persistent AF, undergoing PVI were en...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bronchial Asthma on Interatrial Electromechanical Delay Coupling Obtained Using Tissue Doppler Imaging
Background: Asthma is a predisposing factor for the development of atrial fibrillation. Asthma disturbs the electrophysiology in the right and left atrium. The aim of this study was to evaluate atrial electromechanical delay by coupling obtained from tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 patients with Bronchial Asthma, compared with 50 hea...
متن کاملAcute pulmonary vein isolation is achieved by a combination of reversible and irreversible atrial injury after catheter ablation: evidence from magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein reconnection after pulmonary vein isolation is common and is usually associated with recurrences of atrial fibrillation. We used cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after radiofrequency ablation to investigate the hypothesis that acute pulmonary vein isolation results from a combination of irreversible and reversible atrial injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Delayed enhancem...
متن کاملPredictive value of various Doppler-derived parameters of atrial conduction time for successful atrial fibrillation ablation
Various Doppler-derived parameters of left atrial electrical remodeling have been demonstrated to predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after AF ablation. The aim of this study was to compare three Doppler-derived measures of atrial conduction time in patients undergoing AF ablation, and to investigate their predictive value for successful procedure. In 32 prospectively enrolled patien...
متن کاملCombined minimally invasive pulmonary vein isolation, left atrial appendage excision and cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure: case report.
A 76-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy presented with heart failure symptoms in the absence of angina. Several hospitalizations were required due to heart failure exacerbation and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Electrocardiography and tissue synchronization imaging confirmed ventricular dyssynchrony, requiring biventricular pacing. After a failed attempt of percutaneous placement of t...
