Doctors at UT Southwestern
Medical Center at Dallas are sue
cessfully using radio waves to
block the site that provokes the
irregular heart rhythms associ-
ated with atrial fibrillation, until
now considered a chronic, incur-
able condition.
In the procedure, doctors
deliver energy through a cathe-
ter, creating a sear to stop irregu-
lar impulses from the pulmonary
veins, where abnormal rhythms
originate in many patients. The
treatment, called pulmonary vein
ablation, corrects the condition
in about 70 percent of those who
receive it while the remainder
often experience fewer or less
intense attacks.
“Atrial fibrillation has always
been thought of as a chronic prob
lem requiring ongoing therapy,”
said Dr. Robert Kowal, assistant
professor of internal medicine at
UT Southwestern. “But this new
procedure has revolutionized the
way we treat patients with this
common condition, allowing us
to restore patients to normal car
diac rhythm without dependence
on any medications."
Dr. Kowal along with Dr.
Mohamed Hamdan. associate
professor ol internal medicine,
and Dr. Ali Ki/ilbash, assis
taut professor ol iiitern.il medi
cine, performs the procedure
at Parkland Memorial Hospital
and the Dallas Veterans Affairs
Medical Center
Atrial fibrillation the most
common heart rhythm irregu
larity worldwide affects two
million Americans, striking men
slightly more often than women
The condition affects the upper
chambers of the heart, and its
prevalence increases with age.
The most common symptom is
palpitations, or a rapid heartbeat,
and about 15 percent of strokes
are attributed to atrial fibrilla
tion. Other symptoms include
shortness of breath, profuse
sweating, chest pain, dizziness,
exercise intolerance, fainting and
extreme fatigue.
The new procedure is most
effective in patients who have
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, or
relatively brief episodes ol irreg
ular heartbeats, that can last from
a few seconds to several hours
or even days. The episodes may
be the precursor ol more chronic
forms ol atrial fibrillation. I)i
Kowal said.
In the mid 1990s French
researchers discovered that the
four openings of the pulmonary
veins in the left atrium were
the main triggers lor paroxysmal
atrial fibrillation Since that time,
several surgical approaches have
been implemented to treat the
sporadic condition, but radio
frequency ablation is the lirst
percutaneous, or nonsurgical,
procedure that offers a cure
During the procedure which
can last up to si\ hours, dev
tor insert a soft, thin catheter
through a large vein or arterx in
ihe groin directing n to the heart
and the precise area that triggers
the problem. These points are
then electrical!) seared to isolate
them lioin the heart
Patients usually return home
within two days after the pro
cedure and resume routine daily
activities after about a week
