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 ...

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 (AV) junction ablation plus cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality in patients with symptomatic permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), a narrow QRS, and a recent heart ...

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 ...

Atrial fibrillation is the irregular and rapid beating of the upper two chambers of the heart (the atria). It may be classified as paroxysmal, persistent or permanent. Patients with atrial ...
