Catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Catheter ablation is an effective and safe strategy for treating atrial fibrillation patients. Nevertheless, studies on the long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are limited. years following catheter ablation.

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

When atrial fibrillation (AF) begins, it can start with a single focus, degenerating to multiple wavelets, and it spreads throughout the entire surface area of both atria. A fibrillatory wave that occurs at a rate of more than 600 beats per minute can cause fatigue in the long run, leading to atrial dilation.

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Infiltrative Cardiomyopathies: A Narrative Review

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in infiltrative cardiomyopathies ABSTRACT Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are common in patients with Infiltrative heart diseases. AF is the most common arrhythmia identified in patients with amyloidosis due to cellular infiltration and atrial dilation.

Atrioventricular nodal ablation is an effective management strategy for atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

HeartRhythm

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and can be challenging to manage. Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation may be an effective management strategy for AF in these patients.
