Atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation plus cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality in patients with symptomatic permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), a narrow QRS, and a recent heart ...

A "pace-and-ablate" strategy substantially boosted survival for permanent atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with a narrow QRS across the range of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the ...

Dr. Friedman answers the question: 'What is AV Node Reentrant Tachycardia?' — -- Question: What is AV node reentrant tachycardia, and what is the best way to treat this? Answer :AV node reentrant ...

This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...

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 ...

...little data exist on the use of catheter ablation for AVNRT in elderly patients... Cardiovascular interventional therapies are often withheld from elderly patients, owing to a perceived increase in ...

The average heart beats 50 to 100 times per minute, pumping blood to the lungs by a sequence of highly organized contractions of the four chambers of our heart. For the heart to function properly, the ...

Explaination: Once again the AV nodal blocking medications should not be used since blocking the AV node allows more impulses to travel through the accessory pathway thus making the ventricular rate ...
