• Chaotic and disorganized atrial activity
• Irregular heartbeat
• Can be paroxysmal, persistent or
permanent (chronic)
• Most common sustained arrhythmia
• Can be symptomatic or asymptomatic
• Paroxysmal
– Paroxysmal lasting less than 7 days, self- terminating
• Persistent
– An episode of AF lasting greater than 7 days, which can still
be cardioverted to sinus rhythm
• Permanent
• Hypertension
• Coronary heart
disease
• Valvular heart
disease
• Cardiomyopathy
• Sick sinus
syndrome
• Congenital heart
disease
• Cardiac surgery
<b>AF AND HEART FAILURE</b>
<i>AF decreases cardiac outflow :</i>
- loss of atrial systole
- shortening of diastole
- irregularity of ventricular cycle
- difficulty with valve closure
<i>AF worsens coronary disaese :</i>
- tachycardia increases O2 consumption
- shortening of diastole
<i>AF worsens heart failure :</i>

<b>Indications for Catheter AF Ablation</b>
• Symptomatic AF refractory or intolerant to at least one Class I
or III antiarrhythmic medication
• In rare clinical situations, it may be appropriate as first-line
therapy
• Selected symptomatic patients with heart failure and/or
reduced ejection fraction
• Presence of a left atrial thrombus is contraindication to
catheter ablation of AF
<b>Who Should Be Referred for Ablation?</b>
• Patients who have been adequately evaluated for AF
etiology and underlying diseases
• Symptomatic patients in whom one or more
antiarrhythmic agents have failed
• Patients with understanding of efficacy and risks of
