The burden of proof: the current state of atrial fibrillation prevention and treatment trials [PDF]
, 2017 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an age-related arrhythmia of enormous socioeconomic significance. In recent years, our understanding of the basic mechanisms that initiate and perpetuate AF has evolved rapidly, catheter ablation of AF has progressed from ...

Randomized trial of conventional transseptal needle versus radiofrequency energy needle puncture for left atrial access (the TRAVERSE-LA study). [PDF]
, 2013 BackgroundTransseptal puncture is a critical step in achieving left atrial (LA) access for a variety of cardiac procedures. Although the mechanical Brockenbrough needle has historically been used for this procedure, a needle employing radiofrequency (RF)

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in infants and children
SA Heart, 2017 Background: Diagnosis and treatment of paediatric arrhythmias remain challenging. Antiarrhythmic - drugs beta-blockers, class Ic and class III drugs, were the only treatment available for many years. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was introduced for adult patients in 1981 and has been used for children since 1989.

Influence of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation on Platelet Aggregation [PDF]
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2007 the objective of this article was to find out how radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) influences platelet aggregation (PA), and the dependence on the total energy (TE) of RFA used and the cause of arrhythmia. We investigated 97 patients. PA was analyzed before, after, and in 24 hours after RFA.
