  2. 1. Evaluation of New Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation : With Special Emphasis on the Maze Procedure

    Author : Stefan Lönnerholm; Lennart Bergfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Atrial fibrillation; Maze procedure; pacing; quality of life; förmaksflimmer; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; Maze kirurgi; livskvalitet; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation is a common disease. With pharmacological therapy most patients with atrial fibrillation have moderate or little symptoms, but a number of patients have severely symptomatic disease. This study evaluates two new non-pharmacological therapies for atrial fibrillation, the Maze procedure and atrial overdrive pacing. READ MORE

  4. 2. Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter : A Comparison of Cryo and Radiofrequency Techniques

    Author : Helena Malmborg; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Stefan Lönnerholm; Pekka Raatikainen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFl) are two of the most common arrhythmias encountered in the population. Catheter ablation has emerged as a useful tool in the treatment of these arrhythmias. Although radiofrequency (RF) is the most commonly used energy source for ablation, cryoenergy may have some advantageous properties. READ MORE

  5. 3. Outcomes and safety of new techniques for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation : A study based on randomised trials and registries

    Author : David Mörtsell; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Stefan Lönnerholm; Isabel Deisenhofer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; antiarrhythmic drugs; ablation; cryoballoon; radiofrequency; pulmonary vein isolation; quality of life; arrhythmia monitoring; implantable cardiac monitor; atrial fibrillation burden; health economics; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common disease with a high prevalence in the adult population. Treatment of AF encompasses antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation to reduce symptoms. READ MORE
