Why the study?
Does extended catheter ablation without fluoroscopy improve heart remodeling and NT-proBNP in a patient with longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and heart failure?
Does extended catheter ablation without fluoroscopy improve heart remodeling and NT-proBNP in a patient with longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and heart failure?
Catheter ablation without fluoroscopy is feasible and may improve heart remodeling and NT-proBNP in patients with longstanding persistent AF, atrial flutter, and chronic heart failure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports feasibility of zero-fluoroscopy ablation in chronic heart failure; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter practice.
Current clinical case demonstrates the catheter treatment of longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter without the use of fluoroscopy in patient with chronic heart failure. The effect on the parameters of heart remodeling, as well as the dynamics of NT-proBNP after 6 months of follow-up is demonstrated.
