Heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation: the importance of atrioventricular junction ablation in addition to cardiac resynchronisation therapy: Cardiac resynchronization therapy ( CRT ) is an effective therapy in symptomatic, drug-refractory heart failure ( HF ) patients with prolonged QRS and low ejection fraction ( EF ). Long-term results of CRT on exercise tolerance and disease progression as evaluated by reversal of maladaptive remode...

Radiofrequency ablation is effective long-term treatment for kidney tumors: Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital ( MGH ) have shown that radiofrequency ablation ( RFA ) � a minimally invasive way of destroying tissue � is an effective, longlasting treatment for small kidney tumors in selected patients. In a followup to research published in 2003, the investi...
