Arrhythmia in Congenital Heart Disease – A Current Perspective
Key result
Catheter ablation is an evolving and effective treatment modality for managing arrhythmias in patients with congenital heart disease, though procedural challenges remain due to complex anatomy.

Implication
Supports ablation consideration in complex congenital heart disease; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective trials.

Arrhythmia management (surgical and electrophysiological intervention)
This commentary outlines the current paradigm for arrhythmia management across the spectrum of adult congenital heart disease.
Limitations
- Data are scarce, particularly relating to long term outcomes of catheter ablation in this population.

O’Neill et al. (2016) conducted an editorial in Arrhythmia in Congenital Heart Disease. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation is an evolving and effective treatment modality for managing arrhythmias in patients with congenital heart disease, though procedural challenges remain due to complex anatomy.
