Abstract

Currently, analysis of sustained ventricular tachycardia postmyocardial infarction in man is limited by the time required for single point activation mapping and the difficulty in obtaining information during hemodynamically unstable arrhythmias. To overcome these limitations, we developed a multielectrode "basket" catheter for endocardial recording and pacing. This report describes the first clinical use of such a catheter to guide successful radiofrequency ablation of incessant sustained ventricular tachycardia postmyocardial infarction. This system may significantly shorten the time required for VT analysis and improve the results of radiofrequency catheter ablation for VT postmyocardial infarction.

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.

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.
