A review highlighting the current state of radiofrequency catheter ablation and future challenges, particularly in treating atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in structural heart disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Emphasizes need for better ablation training and quality control; leaves open optimal approaches for AF and VT in structural heart disease.
The purpose of this paper is to present briefly a review on the current state of the art of radiofrequency catheter ablation and describe areas of future challenge: what is left. We must ensure quality control of our training programmes and procedures as we progress to the next challenge, that of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with structural heart disease.
