Our aim was to compare the different methods of
modeling the effect of circulating blood flow on the thermal lesion
dimensions created by radio frequency (RF) cardiac ablation and
on the maximum blood temperature. ...
[EN] Algorithms developed so far for the detection of local activation waves (LAWs) in electrograms (EGMs) of atrial fibrillation (AF) analyze each channel of the catheter separately, while dominant reentries of AF are ...

[EN] BACKGROUND: The formation of recipient-to donor atrio-atrial connections (AAC) in patients after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is poorly understood. We sought to investigate the mechanisms of atrial ...
Background—Ablation of high-frequency sources in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is an effective therapy to restore
sinus rhythm. However, this strategy may be ineffective in patients without a significant dominant ...
[EN] Despite its limited long-term success rate, catheter
ablation (CA) is still the first-line treatment for patients suffering
from persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Preoperative prediction on
the procedure¿s outcome ...
[EN] Catheter ablation (CA) is the star treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, important issues regarding its procedure have only been superficially explored. While universal CA effect is assessed, the role of ...
[EN] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and in response to increasing clinical demand, a variety of signals and indices have been utilized for its analysis, which include complex fractionated ...
[EN] Catheter ablation (CA) is a commonly used treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Since its medium/long-term success rate remains limited, preoperative prediction of its outcome is gaining clinical interest ...
