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 …

Pacemaker treatment for bradyarrhythmia was first approved for national health insurance
coverage in Japan in 1974, and its use rapidly became widespread thereafter …

The optimal ablation site is near the middle of the accessory pathway (“midbody”), which is
identified by pacing the atrium or ventricle on either side of the accessory pathway. One …

Background—We report the first successful slow pathway ablation using a novel catheter-
based cryothermal technology for the elimination of atrioventricular nodal reentrant …

The era of catheter ablation for the treatment of arrhythmias began in 1981, when Dr. Melvin
Scheinman performed the first atrioventricular junction ablation using direct-current shocks …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and risks of
radiofrequency ablation of various forms of supraventricular tachycardia after Mustard and …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate markers of success following slow pathway
ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Background: Published …

Aims This is a prospective, randomized study comparing transvenous cryoablation with
radiofrequency (RF) ablation of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) …

The article reports on the delayed effects of radiofrequency energy in the treatment of
cardiovascular diseases. Radiofrequency catheter ablation has rapidly become the …

Aims Ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) has become treatment
of choice because of a high success and low complication rate. Most ablations are …
