Abstract

This article describes clinical cases with complex cardiac arrhythmias after previous interventions. The aim of this article is to provide the first experience of using the PentaRay high-density mapping catheter in Kazakhstan (Biosense Webster, California, USA). Two clinical cases with the presence of several types of cardiac arrhythmias in each patient are described. The article describes two clinical cases with multiple atrial arrhythmias after previously performed interventional procedures on the left atrium. Both patients underwent radiofrequency isolation of the pulmonary veins, which was performed to treat atrial fibrillation, but was unsuccessful. An additional radiofrequency ablation in the atria was performed to treat continuously recurrent atrial arrhythmias. Patients were 56 and 70 years old. In the first case, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia occurred after previous severe myocarditis. In the second case, the primary occurrence of atrial fibrillation is associated with age-related atrial myocardial fibrosis and the presence of concomitant pathology such as arterial hypertension. In both cases, Carto3 navigation system (Biosense Webster, California, USA) and PentaRay high-density mapping catheter were ...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
