Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2012 The management of ventricular tachycardia (VT) has evolved considerably in recent times. The majority of patients with VT have structural heart disease and often implantable defibrillators. Implantable defibrillators can terminate ventricular arrhythmias and prevent sudden death but do not prevent these arrhythmias from occurring.

Catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1990 AbstractRecently, transvenous catheter ablation using radiofrequency impulses has been applied in experimental animals as well as in humans. This review describes the biophysics, mechanisms, and tissue effects of radio‐frequency alternating current. Ablation of the AV‐junction has been performed in experimental studies as well as in a growing number of

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Heart, 2000 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.

Autonomic effects of radiofrequency catheter ablation [PDF]
Europace, 2000 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.

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
, 2013 Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
, 2002 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.
