Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia in adults and catheter ablation has increasingly become the therapy of choice for symptomatic, recurrent, drug refractory AF. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) imaging in guiding radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), as well as highlight the additional radiographic and functional anatomic data provided by CT in comparison to alternative radiographic modalities.
心房颤动(AF)是成人中最常见的室上性心律失常,导管消融术越来越成为有症状的、复发性、药物难治性AF的首选治疗方法。本综述的目的是评估计算机断层扫描(CT)成像在指导射频导管消融(RFCA)中的作用,并强调与其他放射学检查方法相比,CT所提供的额外的影像学和功能解剖学数据。
