Data from a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial have shown cryoablation to be as effective as radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia for the short ...
Current ACC/AHA/HRS Atrial Fibrillation Practice Guidelines [3] recommend that patients with normal LV function or reversible LV dysfunction undergoing AV nodal ablation are most likely to benefit ...
One approach to this problem has been the use of radiofrequency ablation of the AV node to create complete heart block, followed by implantation of a pacemaker. Symptom relief is good, with attendant ...
...little data exist on the use of catheter ablation for AVNRT in elderly patients... Cardiovascular interventional therapies are often withheld from elderly patients, owing to a perceived increase in ...
When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most commonly encountered arrhythmias worldwide, and catheter ablation remains its treatment of choice. Ablation techniques, ...
A "pace-and-ablate" strategy substantially boosted survival for permanent atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with a narrow QRS across the range of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the ...
