Background Atrial tachycardia (AT) can be treated by medical or electrical cardioversion but the recurrence rate is high. Three‐dimensional electro‐anatomical mapping, recently described in horses, might be used to map AT to identify a focal source or ...

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
For most types of supraventricular arrhythmias medical treatment with antiarrythmic drugs is not completely effective. In addition to poor or sporadic efficacy, such drugs can be associated with a number of bothersome and even fatal side effects (although rarely), proarrhythmia, cost, and inconvenience.

Autonomic effects of radiofrequency catheter ablation [PDF]
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has become the treatment of choice for a variety of supraventricular tachycardias. Autonomic dysfunction may occur during application of RF current; these abnormalities resolve quickly when current delivery is terminated.

Role of Catheter Ablation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Management of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) is often difficult. Drug treatment is often ineffective. Implantable defibrillators terminate episodes but do not prevent them. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation offers potential arrhythmia control without the adverse effects of antiarrhythmic treatment.

Introduction:Although rare, the atrioesophageal fistula is one of the most feared complications in radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation due to the high risk of mortality.Objective:This is a prospective controlled study, performed ...

Shortness of breath after AV ablation: case of left phrenic nerve palsy [PDF]
Phrenic nerve palsy has been recognized as a complication of catheter ablation with a prevalence of 0.11–0.48% after atrial fibrillation ablation, independent of the type of ablation catheter or energy source, likely due to the anatomical ...

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia [PDF]
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has been established as an effective and safe treatment modality for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and WPW syndrome. Surgical ablation or direct current catheter ablation had been performed to cure focal atrial tachycardia (AT), however, these treatments had limitations such as the need of open ...

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