Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia

Internal Medicine Journal, 2010
AbstractSudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias remains the most common cause of death in developed nations. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators have been shown to improve mortality in high‐risk groups for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, but they are not curative, with the risk of arrhythmia recurrence remaining unaltered.

Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Annual Review of Medicine, 2000
▪ Abstract  Atrial fibrillation is frequently disabling and resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Curative treatment by catheter-based ablation has been shown to be feasible either by achieving long linear lesions, mainly in the left atrium, or by targeting the initiating focus, most frequently in the pulmonary veins.

CATHETER ABLATION OF ACCESSORY PATHWAYS

Cardiology Clinics, 1997
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective, curative treatment for arrhythmias related to accessory atrioventricular connections. Compared with medical therapy, ablation is more definitive, is more cost-effective, and is associated with a lower risk of proarrhythmia.

Anesthesia for Catheter Ablation Procedures

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2014
Over the past decade, the role of the anesthesiologist has evolved continuously into a sine qua non component of the EP team, having intimate knowledge of the complex interventional procedures and the specific demands of the EP environment. With emphasis on coordination of care, resource optimization, and implementation of a climate of teamwork and ...

Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias

2015
In humans, the typical range of the resting sinus heart rate is 50–90 beats per minute (bpm); most average healthy individuals have resting rates in the 60–70 bpm range. Bradycardia (slow heart beat) is a term used to refer to any heart rate 100 bpm.

Catheter ablation of electrical storm

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2011
Electrical storm (ES) is defined as the occurrence of ≥ three distinct episodes of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in patients with implanted defibrillators within 24 h. Whereas conventional strategies for acute rhythm stabilization may be effective in some patients the occurrence of ES impairs survival and predicts recurrent VA.

Catheter Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias

Medical Clinics of North America, 2001
The safety and efficacy of catheter ablation for treatment of most types of cardiac arrhythmias are well established. These arrhythmias and arrhythmia substrates include AVNRT, accessory pathways, focal atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, and bundle-branch re-entry.

Outpatient radiofrequency catheter ablation

Herz, 1998
Outpatient radiofrequency catheter ablation has been shown to be safe and cost effective in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias due to atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and atrioventricular reentry tachycardia. Complications secondary to vascular access are similar to those during outpatient cardiac catheterization procedures ...

Robotic approach to catheter ablation

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2008
The aim of this review is to introduce two novel techniques for catheter ablation of various arrhythmias in a remote-controlled fashion.The electromechanical system Sensei consists of two steerable sheaths that navigate conventional catheters via a 'master-slave' input device. The magnetic navigation system Niobe consists of two outer permanent magnets
