Effect of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation on Quality of Life in Patients with Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The work was initiated to study quality of life (QoL) parameters in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) before and after radiofrequency catheter ablation procedure (RFA). As analysis of data obtained by means of the SF-36 health survey shows, AVNRT causes reduction in quality of life involving parameters of both physical (38.6%) and emotional (24.8%) health component. Radiofrequency ablation used as a therapy of choice for AVNRT of “slow-fast” type was found efficient in 93.0% of cases. Significant improvement in parameters of physical (20.8%) and emotional (15.8%) quality of life components was registered in 3 months after RFA of slow AVnodal pathway of conduction; in 6 months no differences between the parameters and similar characteristics found in the controls were observed.

Comparison of late results of surgical or radiofrequency catheter modification of the atrioventricular node for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
AIMS Although arrhythmia surgery and radiofrequency catheter ablation to cure atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia differ in technical concept, the late results of both methods, in terms of elimination of the arrhythmogenic substrate and procedure-related new and different arrhythmias, have never been compared. This constituted the purpose of this prospective follow-up study. METHODS ...

AIMS Anatomical and electrogram-guided techniques have been used separately for slow pathway ablation in atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. The aims of the present study were to analyse electrogram characteristics of target sites and biophysical parameters using a combined anatomical and electrogram-guided technique for temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter ablation of the s...
متن کاملSuccessful radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with dextrocardia due to unilateral pulmonary agenesis: a case report
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway is considered to be the treatment of choice for patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. We report a 34-year-old female with mirror image dextrocardia due to unilateral pulmonary agenesis who underwent successful slow pathway ablation for typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. Using contrast injection, cardia...

AIMS This study aimed to clarify the safety and efficacy of selective fast pathway ablation in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and a prolonged PR interval during sinus rhythm. Such patients have been reported to have an increased incidence of complete atrioventricular block. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the earliest retrograde atrial activation during atrioven...

A 41-year-old man received an electrophysiological study (EPS) and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) in our hospital. Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with hypotension developed 9 hours after these procedures. After emergent pulmonary angiography and catheter-directed intrathrombus urokinase infusion and clot breaking, the patient recovered...
