One approach to this problem has been the use of radiofrequency ablation of the AV node to create complete heart block, followed by implantation of a pacemaker. Symptom relief is good, with attendant ...

In patients with atrial fibrillation that is refractory to drug therapy, radio-frequency ablation of the atrioventricular node and implantation of a permanent pacemaker are an alternative therapeutic ...

Atrioventricular junction ablation with permanent pacemaker insertion is a highly effective treatment approach in patients with atrial fibrillation that is resistant to other treatment modalities, ...

When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...

A cardioversion procedure can reset your heart to its normal rhythm. There are two types: Electrical cardioversion. Your doctor gives your heart an electrical shock through paddles or patches on your ...

The largest study comparing the short-term and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation with cryoablation in patients with atrioventricular (AV) nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) has ...
