Catheter ablation in children and adolescents [PDF]

open access: possibleHeart Rhythm, 2006
Adult and pediatric interventional electrophysiology practices have been diverging for the past 10 years, and so we review current pediatric ablation practice. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is safe and efficacious as documented by recent prospective, multi-center pediatric studies. Computer assisted mapping systems used for complex arrhythmias in adult

Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Fibrillation

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2019
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a common and life-threatening arrhythmia resulting in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Due to the inherent challenges of mapping VF in humans, the underlying mechanisms that initiate and sustain this common arrhythmia are still poorly understood.

Catheter Ablation

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2017
Besides antiarrhythmic medication, there are now very good options for a potentially curative therapy by catheter ablation targeting the origin of the underlying arrhythmias in patients with complex congenital heart disease. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of tomographic imaging (MRI or computed tomography) is helpful to understand the underlying

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 for ERS

2017
Since its first clinical evidence in 2008, there have been only few clinical reports of ablation in early repolarization syndrome (ERS). What is still undetermined is whether the mechanism of the ablation effect is due to the suppression of the trigger or substrate modification.

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 ...

Association of atrial tissue fibrosis identified by delayed enhancement MRI and atrial fibrillation catheter ablation: the DECAAF study.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2014
IMPORTANCE Left atrial fibrosis is prominent in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Extensive atrial tissue fibrosis identified by delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been associated with poor outcomes of AF catheter ablation ...

Catheter ablation in the year 2000

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2000
After its introduction in 1987, radiofrequency catheter ablation became established as a safe and effective therapy for the cure of many cardiac arrhythmias in people. The possibility of assessing the relationship between the anatomical target and the electrophysiologic changes produced by radiofrequency pulse delivery has also provided significant ...

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.
