The present treatment of atrial fibrillation by radiofrequency catheter ablation requires long
continuous lesions in the thin walled left atrium where side effects may lead to serious …

Radio-frequency catheter ablation has replaced antiarrhythmic-drug therapy for the
treatment of many types of cardiac arrhythmia. This article reviews the biophysics and results …

BACKGROUND Junctional ectopy may occur during radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation
of the slow pathway in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) …

Objectives This study is designed to examine the immediate and short-term outcomes of
patients who have undergone slow pathway ablation/modification for atrioventricular nodal …

Thermal strain imaging (TSI) or temporal strain imaging is an ultrasound application that
exploits the temperature dependence of sound speed to create thermal (temporal) strain …

Atrial tachycardia, with its focus near the apex of Koch's triangle, may carry a potential risk of
atrioventricular block during radiofrequency catheter ablation. The efficacy and safety of this …

This invention involves method and apparatus for guiding ablative therapy of abnormal
biological electrical excitation. In particular, it is designed for treatment of cardiac …

OBJECTIVES.: The goal of the study was to quantify the response of myocardial impulse
propagation to hyperthermia and identify the temperatures required for transient and …

We propose a new method for guiding catheter ablation procedures to abolish sites of origin
of arrhythmias. This method models both cardiac electrical activity and current pulses …

Purpose: Radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a well‐established clinical procedure
for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) but suffers from a low single‐procedure success …
