Zusammenfassung
Atriale Tachykardien nach interventioneller oder operativer Therapie des Vorhofflimmerns werden zunehmend zu einem Problem in der Rhythmologie. Sowohl die konservative als auch die interventionelle Therapie mittels Katheterablation sind eine Herausforderung. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt eine Übersicht über die Pathophysiologie, die Diagnostik und das Management dieser meist iatrogenen Rhythmusstörungen.
Abstract
Atrial tachycardias occurring after catheter or surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation are a growing concern in clinical electrophysiology. Their management, either with drugs or with catheter ablation techniques, remains challenging. The present article gives an overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of these often iatrogenic and complex arrhythmias.
