    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Elliot Eriksson; Indra Wäringer; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Globally, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF related complications include stroke, heart failure and death.

  3. 2. Clinical outcomes after using of Rhythmia mapping system in patients with differentcomplex arrhythmias

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Hanna Ibrahim; [2021]
    Keywords : Cardiac arrhythmias; Radiofrequency ablation; Rhythmia mapping system; Electro-anatomical cardiac maps; Ablations outcomes.;

    Abstract : Background: Rhythmia is a novel mapping system of cardiac arrhythmias, it utilizes a multielectrode catheter, Orion. Together these two instruments generate high accurate maps of the cardiac chamber which facilitate the identification of arrythmia focus and its ablation. READ MORE
