Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of morbidity and sudden death in patients with heart disease.1 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) terminate VT episodes, reducing the risk of sudden death. Recurrent VT develops in 40% to 60% of patients who receive an ICD after an episode of spontaneous sustained VT.

The year in cardiology: arrhythmias and pacing. [PDF]
During this last year, there has been much progress with regard to anticoagulant and ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). Apart from recently issued European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the management of patients with supraventricular ...

Detecting and monitoring arrhythmia recurrence following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia prompting clinical presentation, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence and prevalence of this arrhythmia is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades.

Catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy
IntroductionCatheter ablation is an effective and safe strategy for treating atrial fibrillation patients. Nevertheless, studies on the long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are limited.

Increased baseline ECG R-R dispersion predicts improvement in systolic function after atrial fibrillation ablation. [PDF]
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction which may improve after AF ablation. We hypothesised that increased ventricular irregularity, as measured by R-R dispersion on the baseline ECG, would ...

Background: In patients with supraventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation is an important treatment option. However, approximately one quarter of these patients remain symptomatic, so sustainable strategies for the treatment of those patients who do ...
