Features: This book is divided into 7 parts. Part 1 focuses on the fundamental principles of radiofrequency ablation technology, including the biophysics, pathophysiology, and pathology of myocardial injury during ablation, as well as the application and limitations of various monitoring techniques. Personnel involved in catheter ablation must have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding and mastery of these basic knowledge. Parts 2-6 systematically introduce the radiofrequency ablation treatment techniques for various arrhythmias, including special arrhythmias such as atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and preexcitation accessory pathway-induced reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), as well as ventricular tachycardia. In addition to conventional content, these introductions also include recent technological and strategic advancements. Part 7 primarily covers patient safety, complications, follow-up, and prospects.
