Background A 60-year-old male with obesity (body-mass index 43 kg/m 2) presented with recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), which he had had since age 41 years. The AF was refractory to ...

Dr. Glenn Brammer, a board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist, performed the first atrial flutter ablation in Augusta Health’s new Electrophysiology Lab on Oct. 24. Atrial flutter is a ...

Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...

There are limited data comparing radiofrequency catheter ablation with antiarrhythmic drug therapy as first-line treatment in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. We randomly assigned 294 ...

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm where the upper heart chambers beat too fast, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to heart muscle damage, stroke, ...
