ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia characterised by uncoordinated atrial activation. The incidence of AF is increasing especially with increasing life expectancy. Despite new insights in the pathophysiology and development of novel ablative technique and anti arrhythmic drugs, the management of this chronic rhythm disturbance remains problematic. There a…
Aim AF is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. Catheter ablation of AF is relatively new modality to convert A F to sinus rhythm. This study was aimed to elaborate efficacy of catheter ablation in mixed type of AF. Methods Thirty patients (age of 52 ± 8 yo) comprised of 19 paroxysmal …
Aim Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA), a non-surgical intervention to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), has been a standard treatment in developed countries. However, this procedure not yet systematically performed in Indonesia. This case series aim to study feasibility, safety and efficacy ofPTSMA in National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta.
