The purpose of this study was to provide an updated worldwide report on the methods, efficacy, and safety catheter ablation atrial fibrillation (AF).A questionnaire with 46 questions sent 521 centers from 24 countries in 4 continents. Complete interviews were collected 182 centers, which 85 reported have performed 20,825 procedures 16,309 patients AF between 2003 2006. median number per center 245 (range, 2 2715). All included paroxysmal AF, 85.9% also persistent 47.1% long-lasting AF....
During the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly from an investigational procedure to its current status as a commonly performed in many major hospitals throughout world. Surgical AF, using either standard or minimally invasive techniques, is also world. In 2007, initial Consensus Statement on Catheter and AF Ablation was developed joint effort Heart Rhythm Society, European Association, Cardiac Arrhythmia Society.1 The 2007 document collaboration...
Background— In 1994, an International Task Force proposed criteria for the clinical diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) that facilitated recognition and interpretation frequently nonspecific features ARVC/D. This enabled confirmatory in index cases through exclusion phenocopies provided a standard on which research genetic studies could be based. Structural, histological, electrocardiographic, arrhythmic, familial disease were incorporated into...
Patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy are at substantial risk for sudden death from cardiac causes. However, the value of prophylactic implantation an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) to prevent in such patients is unknown.

Background— The purpose of this study was to conduct a worldwide survey investigating the methods, efficacy, and safety catheter ablation (CA) atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Results— A detailed questionnaire sent 777 centers worldwide. Data relevant were collected from 181 centers, which 100 had ongoing programs on CA AF between 1995 2002. number patients undergoing procedure increased 18 in 5050 median procedures per center 37.5 (range, 1 600). Paroxysmal AF, persistent permanent...
Antiarrhythmic drugs are commonly used for prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) despite inconsistent efficacy and frequent adverse effects. Catheter ablation has been proposed as an alternative treatment paroxysmal AF.To determine the catheter compared with antiarrhythmic drug therapy (ADT) in treating symptomatic AF.A prospective, multicenter, randomized (2:1), unblinded, Bayesian-designed study conducted at 19 hospitals 167 patients who did not respond to least 1 experienced 3...

PreambleThis international consensus statement provides the state of genetic testing for channelopathies and cardiomyopathies.It summarizes opinion writing group members based on their own experience a general review literature with respect to use role these potentially heritable cardiac conditions.This document focuses primarily 13 distinct entities detailed relative diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic impact test result each entity.It does not focus management various...
