چکیده

We performed a survey on current atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation techniques used for catheter ablation of AF among the European Heart Rhythm Association Research Network. The focus of this questionnaire is on the ablation strategy, such as the use of different lesion sets or sites of ablation in the various forms of AF, and on the technical aspects of catheter ablation with respect to energy sources and imaging modalities.

Effects Of Fast Pathway Ablation On The Concealment Zone And Electrophysiological Behavior Of AV-Node During Atrial Fibrillation.

Objectives: Dual pathways have a determinant role in the occurrence of atrio nodal tachyarrhythmia (AVNRT). The aim of present study is to determine the role of slow pathway (SP) in the concealment zone and protective role of AV node during atrial fibrillation (AF). Material &Methods: In 7 isolated nodal rabbit preparation zone of concealment and concealed conduction is quantified by Specif...

Effect of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy on Coagulation Activity and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Ablation: A Randomized Comparison between Dabigatran and Warfarin

  Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with inflammatory and hypercoagulability state. Previous studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of dabigatran and warfarin in prevention of thrombothic complications. This study was intended to assess the influence of these drugs on hemostatic and inflammatory markers among patient underwent pulmonary vein ablation.   A total of 100 patients with AF w...

Catheter Ablation of the Pulmonary Veins as Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation - 05/12

Radiofrequency ablation using a percutaneous catheter-based approach is widely used to treat supraventricular arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation frequently arises from an abnormal focus at or near the junction of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium, thus leading to the feasibility of more focused ablation techniques directed at these structures. Catheter-based ablation, using both radiofreque...

Hybrid Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation - Optimizing Treatment Strategies.

Endocardial atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation techniques enable one to characterize the underlying substrate in order to tailor the ablation procedure but these ablation lesions are not always transmural nor long lasting. Surgical AF ablation techniques, on the other hand, create reliable linear lesions but the lesion set is based on empirical assumptions rather than specific patient characteri...

Progress continues in the quest to cure atrial fibrillation with catheter ablation techniques.

Over the past 5 years, the electrophysiology community has been focused on the development of catheter ablation techniques and ablation systems to cure atrial fibrillation. This endeavour has been fuelled by a number of factors including: (1) the clinical importance of atrial fibrillation because of its high prevalence in the general population, associated symptoms, stroke risk, and increased m...
