Electrophysiological End Point for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Initiated From Multiple Pulmonary Venous Foci

TL;DR: Multiple PV foci are involved in initiation of AF, and elimination of PV muscle conduction is associated with clinical success, and success defined by elimination of AF without drugs was correlated with the procedural end point of the abolition of distal PV potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophysiological Breakthroughs From the Left Atrium to the Pulmonary Veins

TL;DR: Although PV muscle covers a large extent of the PV perimeter, there are specific breakthroughs from the left atrium that allow ostial PV disconnection by use of partial perimetric ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in congestive heart failure.

TL;DR: Restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm by catheter ablation without the use of drugs in patients with congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation significantly improve cardiac function, symptoms, exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Are Results Maintained at 5 Years of Follow-Up?

TL;DR: In selected patients with AF, a catheter ablation strategy with repeat intervention as necessary provides acceptable long-term relief, and a slow but steady decline in arrhythmia-free survival is noted thereafter.
