Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Catheter Ablation Versus Medical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure (The CAMTAF Trial)
Ross J. Hunter,T J Berriman,Ihab Diab,R Kamdar,Laura Richmond,Victoria Baker,Farai Goromonzi,Vinit Sawhney,Edward Duncan,Stephen P. Page,Waqas Ullah,Beth Unsworth,Jamil Mayet,Mehul Dhinoja,Mark J. Earley,Simon Sporton,Richard J. Schilling +16 more
TL;DR: Catheter ablation is effective in restoring sinus rhythm in selected patients with persistent AF and HF, and can improve LV function, functional capacity, and HF symptoms compared with rate control.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of CT image integration into an electroanatomic mapping system on clinical outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Peter M. Kistler,Kim Rajappan,Mohammed Jahngir,Mark J. Earley,Stuart Harris,Dominic Abrams,Dhiraj Gupta,Reginald Liew,Stephen Ellis,Simon Sporton,Richard J. Schilling +10 more
TL;DR: A detailed appreciation of left atrial/pulmonary vein (LA/PV) anatomy may be important in improving the safety and success of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiofrequency ablation of arrhythmias guided by non-fluoroscopic catheter location: a prospective randomized trial
Mark J. Earley,Refai Showkathali,Maysaa Alzetani,Peter M. Kistler,Dhiraj Gupta,Dominic Abrams,Julie A Horrocks,Stuart Harris,Simon Sporton,Richard J. Schilling +9 more
TL;DR: Ensite NavX and Carto procedures have similar effectiveness and safety to a conventional approach; however, they both reduce X-ray exposure, with NavX producing a significantly greater effect than Carto.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Three‐Dimensional Cardiac Image Integration: Use of Integrated CT Image into Electroanatomic Mapping System to Perform Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Peter M. Kistler,Mark J. Earley,Stuart Harris,Dominic Abrams,Stephen Ellis,Simon Sporton,Richard J. Schilling +6 more
TL;DR: The integration of CT into an electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system and its validation in patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maintenance of sinus rhythm with an ablation strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with a lower risk of stroke and death
Ross J. Hunter,James W. McCready,Ihab Diab,Stephen P. Page,Malcolm Finlay,Laura Richmond,Antony French,Mark J. Earley,Simon Sporton,Michael N. Jones,Jubin Joseph,Yaver Bashir,Timothy R. Betts,Glyn Thomas,Andrew Staniforth,Geoffrey Lee,Peter M. Kistler,Kim Rajappan,Anthony W.C. Chow,Richard J. Schilling +19 more
TL;DR: Restoration of sinus rhythm by catheter ablation of AF is associated with lower rates of stroke and death compared with patients treated medically, and freedom from AF predicted stroke-free survival on multivariate analysis.
