The ability of the radiofrequency applicator to cause ablation depends on the heat conduction of localised radiofrequency energy and heat convection by blood. Temperatures higher than 55°C can cause ...

Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) cardiac catheter ablation has been very successful for treating ... The effect of flow rate is not obvious. Higher flow rate does not lead to a deeper lesion.

Chronic pain can significantly impact an individual quality of life making effective treatment essential Two innovative ...

place these patients at high risk. Newer techniques for cardiac mapping and ablation, the establishment of precise ablation lines, and safer approaches to the ablation mechanism (particularly for ...

A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and results in clinically important improvements ...

"There is an urgent need to generate high-quality evidence to guide clinical-decision-making for these ablation procedures in patients with HFrEF." For the CRABL-HF trial, researchers enrolled 110 ...

MWA needed significantly fewer sessions, applicator puncture and ablation durations, with lower hospitalisation ... MWA showed some advantages due to higher thermal efficiency as follows. First, even ...
