Improving the procedural safety and efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Studies with special focus on non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
De Bortoli, Alessandro (Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-30)Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and it is responsible for increased mortality and a reduced quality of life. Its prevalence is rapidly increasing. Catheter ablation has emerged ... -
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level at longterm follow-up after atrial fibrillation ablation: A marker of reverse atrial remodeling and successful ablation
Solheim, Eivind; Off, Morten Kristian; Hoff, Per Ivar; De Bortoli, Alessandro; Schuster, Peter; Ohm, Ole-Jørgen; Chen, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-13)Aims: We investigated the relationship between arrhythmia burden, left atrial volume (LAV) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) at baseline and after long-term follow-up of atrial fibrillation (AF) ... -
Remote magnetic versus manual catheters: evaluation of ablation effect in atrial fibrillation by myocardial marker levels
Solheim, Eivind; Off, Morten Kristian; Hoff, Per Ivar; De Bortoli, Alessandro; Schuster, Peter; Ohm, Ole-Jørgen; Chen, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-08)Background A remote magnetic navigation (MN) system is available for radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), challenging the conventional manual ablation technique. The myocardial markers were measured to ...
