Future ablation concepts of tachyarrhythmias

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. 1995 Oct;6(10 Pt 1):852-62. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8167.1995.tb00360.x.

Abstract

Application of radiofrequency energy to arrhythmogenic substrates after careful cardiac mapping could ensure a high success rate in eliminating certain types of tachyarrhythmias. Future studies of catheter ablation will focus on how to improve ablation efficacy and achieve a better result in various types of tachyarrhythmias. More information about the arrhythmogenic mechanisms will be provided to improve the knowledge of diagnostic and interventional electrophysiology.
