Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and other supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVTA) [atrial flutter (AFL), atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) and preexcitation syndrome (PS)] are frequently associated. We assessed the AF occurrence frequency and predictors according to the nature of SVTA and completion of SVTA ablation.

Methods And Results: 4169 patients were referred for SVTA (typical AVNRT: 1338, AVRT over a concealed accessory pathway: 329, atypical AVNRT: 205, AFL: 1321; PS: 976); mean age was 50±20years; electrophysiological study (EPS) was systematic; patients were followed for a mean duration of 3±4.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) are frequently associated. We assessed the frequency and identified the predictors of AF occurrence after AFL ablation.

Methods And Results: A total of 1,121 patients referred for AFL ablation were followed for a mean duration of 2.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on understanding the prevalence and factors related to 1:1 atrial flutter (AFL), finding that it occurred in 8% of patients undergoing AFL ablation.
  • Among the 85 patients with 1:1 AFL, they were typically younger and were less likely to have heart disease, but more likely to have a history of atrial fibrillation and use class I antiarrhythmic medications.
  • The outcomes following ablation, including recurrence rates and complications, were similar for patients with and without 1:1 AFL, indicating comparable prognoses.

Unlabelled: Sex-related differences were not reported for the atrial flutter (AF). The purpose of the study was to look for the influence of gender on indications, clinical data and long-term results of AFl ablation.

Methods: 985 patients, [227 females (23%)] were referred for radiofrequency AFl ablation.

Aims: Orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (ORT) is the most common arrhythmia at electrophysiological study (EPS) in patients with pre-excitation. The purpose of the study was to determine the clinical significance and the electrophysiological characteristics of patients with inducible antidromic tachycardia (ADT).

Methods And Results: Electrophysiological study was performed in 807 patients with a pre-excitation syndrome in control state and after isoproterenol.
