Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been utilized to treat patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, but there is no reports on its use in treating LVOTO resulting from SVS. Patients experiencing LVOTO may manifest symptoms such as angina, syncope, etc. After RFA was performed, the patient's symptoms significantly improved.

Preprocedural transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) has been a routine component of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures since the origin of this procedure. However, practice changes regarding preprocedural imaging and anticoagulation management have reduced the necessity of pre-ablation TEE.

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the long-term outcomes and subclinical HF after nonparoxysmal AF ablation in HFpEF patients have not been fully evaluated.

Abstract Introduction Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is one of the most common atrial arrhythmias involving the right atrium (RA) for which radiofrequency catheter ablation has been widely used as a therapy of choice. However, there is limited data on the effect of this intervention on cardiac size and function.
