CATHETER ABLATION: IMPROVING TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition characterized by multiple ectopic foci in the atria (the upper chambers of the heart), causing chaotic electrical impulses and reentrant circuits in the atrial muscle. As a result, the atrial muscles shiver instead of contracting, and the electrical impulses rapidly spread to the ventricles, causing a rapid and irregular heartbeat.

CATHETER ABLATION: IMPROVING TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

The goal of treating atrial fibrillation is to control ventricular rate, manage rhythm, and prevent thromboembolic events to alleviate symptoms and prevent heart disease due to rapid heart rates. The treatment plan for each patient must be specifically tailored, weighing the benefits and risks of each approach.

For younger patients, those without structural heart disease, or those whose arrhythmias are not adequately controlled with medication, radiofrequency catheter ablation is often the preferred treatment, with a high chance of achieving definitive arrhythmia control.

With the support of 3D electrophysiological mapping systems, detailed three-dimensional images of the atria and pulmonary veins are recreated, allowing for precise targeting of the disease mechanism down to the millimeter.

At Hanoi French Hospital, the success rate of catheter ablation for treating atrial fibrillation is enhanced by:

  • Individualized treatment protocols: Based on the European Heart Rhythm Association guidelines, interventions are tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
  • The latest 3D mapping system: The Abbott EnSite X EP System, the newest generation in Vietnam, ensures high standards and precision.
  • A modern interventional suite that complies with the highest French standards for infection prevention and sterilization.
