When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...

...little data exist on the use of catheter ablation for AVNRT in elderly patients... Cardiovascular interventional therapies are often withheld from elderly patients, owing to a perceived increase in ...

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most commonly encountered arrhythmias worldwide, and catheter ablation remains its treatment of choice. Ablation techniques, ...

Atrioventricular (AV) nodal ablation with pacing is an alternative therapeutic option in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and difficult-to-control ventricular rates that are unresponsive to ...

The study found significant improvements in both the 6-minute hallway walk test and ejection fraction (EF) in patients receiving a BVP device (also referred to as cardiac resynchronization therapy ...

A "pace-and-ablate" strategy substantially boosted survival for permanent atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with a narrow QRS across the range of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the ...

The average heart beats 50 to 100 times per minute, pumping blood to the lungs by a sequence of highly organized contractions of the four chambers of our heart. For the heart to function properly, the ...

Introduction: Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most common regular supraventricular arrhythmias referred for catheter ablation (CA). In Poland, several families with ...
