Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2005 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The pulmonary veins (PVs) play an important role not only in the onset but also the maintenance of AF. Therefore, the goal of present AF ablation is to electrically disconnect the PVs from the rest of the atrium by ablating around the origin of the PVs. Several

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias [PDF]
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2013 Catheter ablation has emerged as an important and effective treatment option for many recurrent ventricular arrhythmias. The approach to ablation and the risks and outcomes are largely determined by the nature of the severity and type of underlying heart disease.

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: State of the Art and Future Perspectives
Cardiology and Therapy, 2020 Purpose of Review Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia, is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Maintenance of stable sinus rhythm (SR) is the intended treatment target in symptomatic patients, and catheter ...

Catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineIntroductionCatheter 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.
