QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH PERMANENT PACEMAKER IN VVI(R) AND DDD(R) REGIMES AFTER RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF THE ATRIO-VENTRICULAR NODE
Abstract
To study the effect of radiofrequency ablation of atrio-ventricular node with pacemaker implantation on the quality of life of patients with medically resistant atrial fibrillation of non-valvular origin, 12patients of the study group and 24 patients of the reference group, in whom the interventional treatment was not performed, were followed up.
