Predicting adverse outcomes following catheter ablation treatment for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2022
Objective: To develop prognostic survival models for predicting adverse outcomes after catheter ablation treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: We used a linked dataset including hospital administrative data, prescription medicine claims, emergency department presentations, and death registrations of patients in New South Wales,

Safety, Efficacy and Prognostic Benefit of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2022
Up to 65% of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) develop AF during the course of the disease. This occurrence is associated with adverse outcomes, including pump failure death.

Electroanatomic Mapping to determine Scar Regions in patients with Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

2019 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2022
Left atrial voltage maps are routinely acquired during electroanatomic mapping in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. For patients, who have prior catheter ablation when they are in sinus rhythm, the voltage map can be used to identify low voltage areas using a threshold of 0.2 - 0.45 mV. However, such a voltage threshold for

Feasibility of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Український журнал серцево-судинної хірургії, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a worldwide epidemic that has hit about 33 million people. In clinical studies, the efficacy of antiarrhythmic therapy and catheter ablation in the treatment of AF was compared, and controversial results were obtained ...

Predictors of the atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013
Background: Despite technical refinements and improved long-term efficacy of the ablation procedure for treating AFL (AFL), the subsequent occurrence of AF (AF) following this procedure remains a significant clinical problem.

Thoracoscopic vs. catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: long-term follow-up of the FAST randomized trial [PDF]

, 2019
Aims: Our objectives were to compare effectiveness and long-term prognosis after epicardial thoracoscopic atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation vs. endocardial catheter ablation, in patients with prior failed catheter ablation or high risk of failure ...

Cryoablation to improve catheter stability and ablation success in the right atrioventricular groove

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
Catheter instability can limit ablation success of arrhythmia substrates at the right atrioventricular groove. We describe cases where cryoablation improved catheter stability, enabling ablation success.

Sex-Related Differences in Catheter Ablation for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020
The coexistence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure significantly increases the risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. Sex-related differences in all patients undergoing atrial fibrillation catheter ablation include the ...
