Abstract
The authors describe the main etiopathogenic factors and clinical importance of atrial fibrillation and analyse the results of catheter ablation of atrioventricular accessory pathways in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Atrial vulnerability is the principal mechanism and radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular accessory pathways seems to be useless to prevent atrial fibrillation.
