New treatments for atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia as regards the 1-2% of the general population, while the figure is 10 to 15% in older people suffering from cardiac diseases. The arrhythmia may cause the clot may lead to a stroke with unknown consequences to death.
The deal with the technique of catalysis when early and later ages can lead even in therapy. The ablation of atrial fibrillation is by means of catheters which are inserted through peripheral veins and forwarded painlessly heart wherein, either by using high frequency current or cryotherapy destroyed foci infarction of the left (or the right atrium) that cause.
"New techniques of ablation applied in Greece and abroad outweigh compared with medical therapy, have very good results in patients with persistent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and can even result in a cure. Despite the controversies that exist regarding the technique of occupation is evolving its application.
When applied early in relatively young patients aged 40-60 years in specialized centers the results are excellent, "said ANA-MPA professor of cardiology and director of C. Cardiology AUTH (Hippocrates) Vassilis Vassilikos on the occasion of the conference ARRHYTHMIAS UPDATE 2015 that will be held on 24 and 25 April in The Met Hotel Thessaloniki, organized by the C University Cardiology Clinic of AUTH in collaboration with the Heart Association of Northern Greece.
