Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Patients with structural heart disease (SHD) are at an increased risk of developing this arrhythmia and are particularly susceptible to the deleterious hemodynamic effects it carries. In the last two decades, catheter ablation (CA) has emerged as a valuable strategy for rhythm control and is currently part of the standard care for symptomatic relief in patients with AF. Growing evidence suggests that CA of AF may have potential benefits that extend beyond symptoms. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of this intervention on SHD patients.
心房颤动(AF)是临床实践中最常见的心律失常。患有结构性心脏病(SHD)的患者发生这种心律失常的风险增加,并且特别容易受到其带来的有害血流动力学影响。在过去二十年中,导管消融(CA)已成为一种有价值的节律控制策略,目前是房颤患者症状缓解标准治疗的一部分。越来越多的证据表明,房颤的导管消融可能具有超出症状缓解的潜在益处。在本综述中,我们总结了目前关于这种干预措施对SHD患者影响的知识。
