Radiofrequency ablation of numerous premature ventricular contractions in a cardiac resynchronisation therapy patient: A long-term follow-up

Abstract

We present a case study of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) device who was repeatedly hospitalised due to heart failure (HF) exacerbations. A successful radiofrequency ablation of numerous premature ventricular contractions enabled the proper action of CRT and stabilised the patient's condition in NYHA II without HF subsequent hospitalisations during a 30 month follow-up. © Polskie Towarzystwo Kardiologiczne.
