Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Sriratanasathavorn C 
There have been a lot of progression in the treatment of atrial fibrillation during the last 10
years. Atrial fibrillation treatment is not only focus on prevention of thromboembolic comlications of
this tachyarrhythmia but also on heart rate control which can be obtained in many ways. Recently, more
information of atrial fibrillation mechanism led to new treatment modalities including surgery and the
use of radiofrequency ablation. However, most of these new treatment forms are still investigational,
evolving and reserved to atrial fibrillation patients who are refractory to standard treatment.
