CHOICE FOR AN APPROPRIATE STRATEGY IN A PATIENT WITH ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY, LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK, AND ATRIAL FLUTTER
Abstract
A case report is provided of the high frequency catheter destruction of the typical atrial flutter persisting for a long period time in a male patient with the ischemic cardiomyopathy, complete left bundle branch block, and severe chronic heart failure; the analysis of potential treatment strategies was made.
