In developed countries, the number of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation procedures increases every year. Continuous scientific and technological innovation in the area of AF ablation has broadened the spectrum of therapeutic options for patients with AF, and it is likely to be a contributing factor in making AF ablation a practice no longer restricted to a few operators with greater… View more

Catheter ablation has become the curative treatment for various cardiac arrhythmias. Extending the indications from simple supraventricular tachycardias to complex arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation (AF) has led to more challenging procedures. These procedures have prolonged fluoroscopy exposure and the need for stable and reproducible catheter movement. Therefore,… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Patients with structural heart disease are at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT), a major cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with an incidence of one to two per 1,000 per year.1 The proven life-saving benefit achieved with implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) is due to the reduction in SCD. However, several considerations support an important role for therapies that prevent episodes… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Prapa Kanagaratnam Added: 3 years ago
The 4mm deflectable radiofrequency (RF) ablation catheter enabled small necrotic lesions to be created anywhere in the heart, revolutionised the treatment of tachycardias mediated by localised abnormalities such as atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), accessory pathways and focal atrial tachycardias1 and fuelled the rapid growth of cardiac electrophysiology. The first… View more
