Key result
Radiofrequency energy has emerged as the energy source of first choice for catheter ablation procedures to treat various cardiac arrhythmias.
This review discusses the development, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of radiofrequency catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias.
Reinforces radiofrequency as first-choice ablation energy; leaves open comparative trials with emerging modalities.
Radiofrequency energy has emerged as the current energy source of first choice for ablation procedures. We review the development of radiofrequency energy for ablation procedures and its advantages and disadvantages. We also review how radiofrequency energy can be applied to treat various arrhythmias. We also discuss some of the insights that catheter ablation has in turn provided in our understanding of arrhythmias.
