Atrial arrhythmia and heart failure in adult patients with congenital heart disease: a retrospective cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of hospitalisation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Methods In this single-centre retrospective cohort study, data from 3995 patients with ACHD were analysed.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Congenital Heart Disease: Therapeutic Challenges and Future Perspectives

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults with congenital heart disease raises significant questions regarding its management. Emerging imaging modalities and ablation techniques might have a role to play.

Very High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Data regarding safety and long-term outcome of very high-power-short duration (vHPSD) ablation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) are lacking. Regardless of CHD complexity, no vHPSD ablation modality related complications occurred.

Efficacy and Safety of Early Post-Operative Ablation in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

Post-operative arrhythmias are most often transient and medically treated, but some patients may require electrophysiology study (EPS) and ablation.

PO-01-036 ACCURACY OF FORWARD-SOLUTION COMPUTATIONAL ECG MAPPING FOR VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS IN PATIENTS WITH ADULT CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE

HeartRhythm

Patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) such as Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias requiring ablation. Less common syndromes such as double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and Williams Syndrome provide additional complications.
