All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of AVNRT: Slow pathway ablation for AVNRT - Posterior approach, Fast pathway ablation for AVNRT - Anterior approach.

Potential complications of catheter ablation of AVRT: complications of vascular access and catheter manipulation, complications of delivery of RF energy.

Efficacy and success rate of ablation of AVRT: efficacy 89-99%, overall recurrence of conduction after successful ablation 7% .

Ablation of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT)

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of SVT: use of an electrode catheter to destroy small areas of myocardial tissue or conduction system, or both, that are critical to the

Cryothermal ablation of supraventricular tachycardia requires special equipment for cooling the cryocatheter.

Commotio Cordis is the term given to sudden arrhythmic death due to blunt chest wall trauma. Death is almost instantaneous and the victims are in VF.
