Asthma remains a major health problem with significant morbidity, mortality and economic
costs. In asthma, airway remodelling, which refers to all the microscopic structural changes …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine the impact of age and gender on
the mechanism of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). BACKGROUND …

We delivered controlled radio frequency energy to the airways of anesthetized, ventilated
dogs to examine the effect of this treatment on reducing airway narrowing caused by a …

Background Bronchial thermoplasty is a novel procedure being developed as a potential
treatment for asthma. Experience with animal studies has enabled development of …

Introduction: Cryoenergy has evolved as a safe and effective alternative for ablation of
arrhythmia substrates in adult patients. Due to two specific features, cryomapping and …

Scientific and technological innovations are the principal change agents responsible for
revolutionary health care and prevention practices. Elements leading to technological …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zero-fluoroscopy
(ZF) catheter ablation (CA) for supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Methods 584 …

Aims The experience of using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of arrhythmias
in children and adolescents is still limited. This study aimed to review the most recent results …

Background/objective Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of focal atrial tachycardia
(FAT) traditionally is guided by conventional endocardial mapping of earliest atrial …

Radiofrequency catheter ablative techniques provide a unique opportunity to cure dogs of
certain supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, rather than simply controlling the rhythm with drug …
