A prospective hemodynamic evaluation of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction
Abstract
A prospective invasive hemodynamic evaluation in 11 unselected patients with medically refractory chronic atrial fibrillation undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction was performed. The resultant rate regulation and control caused a hemodynamic and symptomatic improvement despite persistent fibrillation at the atrial level.
