Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter improves cardiac chamber size and function

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

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.

Use of Right Ventricular Free-Wall Strain in a Multivariable Estimate of Right Ventricular-Arterial Coupling in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Noninvasive surrogates for RVAC using echocardiographic estimates of right ventricular function, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), have been shown to correlate with invasively measured RVAC and predict clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension.
