Sentence examples for nodal ablation from inspiring English sources

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of patients with refractory atrial fibrillation (AF), the safety and efficacy of atrioventricular nodal ablation (AVNA) versus pharmacotherapy alone remains unclear.

If the AF is refractory to ablation or the patient is not a candidate, and the rate cannot be adequately controlled, then AV nodal ablation with biventricular pacing is an alternative [ 46].

For the purpose of this analysis, patients with first-detected or permanent AF at baseline, a history of AV nodal ablation or missing follow-up or data for AF type in follow-up were excluded.

The absence of the electrocardiographic changes that were seen in animal testing may be due to the small sample size and/or the inclusion of patients with prior AV nodal ablation procedures with paced rhythms.

For the purpose of the current analysis, we excluded 3897 patients: 3040 due to first-detected or permanent AF at baseline, 114 due to previous AV nodal ablation, 733 due to missing follow-up, and 10 due to missing data for AF type.

Indeed, beneficial effects of successful His-bundle pacing have been reported in adults with AV-nodal ablation for atrial fibrillation [ 23, 24].

Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation with concomitant pacemaker implantation is one of the strategies that reduce symptoms in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Similarly, in patients undergoing AV nodal therapeutic ablation, long lasting applications using large catheters (i.e. 8 mm) and catheter tip temperatures ≤−80°C should be needed to consistently obtain persistent AVB.

A possible mechanism of RF modification of AV node conduction is AV nodal slow pathway ablation.

To test the effects of Hex-AVE ablation on Nodal signalling we analysed Nodal expression in Hexdact/+ embryos.

Ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia is very effective, with a potential for damage to the normal conduction system.
