Radiofrequency ablation for pre-excitation syndromes and AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia

Heart, Lung & Circulation
James Leitch, Malcolm Barlow

Abstract

Radiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia was introduced in 1990. Since then it has become the standard for definitive treatment of pre-excitation syndromes and atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia. In general, catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia results in improved outcomes compared to pharmacologic treatment. Over 95% of patients will be successfully treated with catheter ablation with less than a 5% chance of recurrence and <1% risk of major complications.

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.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

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.
