Pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation : Findings from long-term follow-up

Herz

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is by far the most common cardiac arrhythmia in humans. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age and will increase even more in the future due to the demographic changes in the population. Therefore, this arrhythmia will have a growing clinical and socioeconomic impact. Although there are established pharmaceutical treatment options, atrial fibrillation is one of the major causes of stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The latest guidelines recommend the invasive procedure of circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as an effective treatment of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. This article summarizes the current long-term follow-up data after PVI.

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.

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
