Interventional arrhythmology: from innovations to up-to-date clinical practice

The article is devoted to the modern aspects of the interventional arrhythmology. The first aim of this study was to test the accuracy of the noninvasively obtained ventricular activation (isolated epicardial vs combined endo-epicardial mapping) as compared with that of standard invasive mapping in patients with ventricular arrhythmias. It was 88.3%. The second aim was to evaluate the patients’ state of health by EQ-5D questionnaire and the appearance of cardiovascular events in the remote period after “MAZE” radiofrequency endocardial catheter ablation procedure, according to the efficacy of the interventional treatment. We also estimated the influence of the inflammation on the results of the atrial fibrillation catheter treatment. The results of the method for the selection and effectiveness of the treatment of severe heart failure are presented.
