Description
Shankar Baskar and Jeremy P Moore review, in a 2026 article, catheter ablation for the scar-driven atrial rhythm circuits that plague adults born with heart defects. More than half of patients with severe congenital disease develop atrial arrhythmias by age sixty-five, and these rhythms are often poorly tolerated.
Intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia, circling around surgical incision scars in remodelled atria, is the dominant mechanism. Medicines disappoint often enough that ablation has become the mainstay of rhythm control. The review proposes a mapping and ablation strategy for these complex substrates, with worked examples showing the pitfalls. Earlier, more assertive treatment may slow the atrial remodelling that breeds further arrhythmia.
